El Sobrante Retreat

Come home to your own stylish redwood retreat in the heart of this coveted May Valley neighborhood. With views of the rolling hills from the primary suite and living room, you can sit in the window and cozy up with a good book, or gaze gently at the hills while watching the clouds and the hawks playing in the sky. The ⅓ acre lot* has just the right combination of flat sunny space for gardening and play, and a wooded slope for that state-park feeling.

As you enter, you are immediately struck by the soaring wood-beamed ceilings accentuating the spaciousness of the light-filled living room. Warm and glowing hardwood floors add to the appeal. Beautiful maple cabinets in the kitchen offer plenty of storage, and the skylight floods the kitchen with natural light. Enjoy the vision of the lush garden from the large window at the kitchen sink. Sliding glass doors open from the dining room to the deck, and to the expansive backyard beyond. The first level also features a bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry. The second level offers a gracious primary suite with a walk-in closet, as well as two additional bedrooms and a hallway bathroom. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, you’ll have space for everyone! To top it off, there is even a separate building in the backyard with radiant heat and windows looking out to the garden, perfect for a home office, art studio, or music room.* Private and peaceful, this expansive property boasts many sought-after amenities and practical upgrades. Owned solar, new furnace and AC (2025), new roof (2024), and an updated kitchen to name but a few. Not many homes become available on this coveted stretch of Santa Rita Road. This is your moment!
