These homeowners cherished this home for 41 years, and it shows in the life that was lived here. It was more than a house - it was truly a home. They raised their children here, gardened with their grandchildren, grew their own food, and enjoyed the flexibility of three living areas that offered space for writing, art, and everyday living.  They are downsizing to enjoy more travel and retirement. 

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with bonus room, offers a thoughtful layout with both comfort and potential. Upstairs, dormers were added to bring natural light into a private bedroom and living/bonus room, with a full bath conveniently located at the bottom of the stairs. Downstairs features two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and two separate living areas.

The kitchen was reconfigured a few years ago for improved function and flow, with solid surface countertops, updated appliances, and a two-sided bar that opens to the adjacent living space. Additional highlights include a formal dining room, formal living room with built-in bookcases, a natural gas remote control fireplace, and wood floors throughout most of the home.

Outside, the property invites imagination and enjoyment. There is a storage building that could serve as a playhouse, a hillside with grapevines ready for your vision of a fruit tree grove, and a garden area with a small lawn near the house for relaxing outdoors.

Forest Hills offers even more to love, including access to the community pool with membership. The location also provides close proximity to the freeway, a choice of several BART stations, AMTRAK train station, parks, downtown areas, and Martinez Waterfront Park, where amenities include bocce, horseshoes, a skate park, soccer fields, a marina with boat docks, fishing pier, showers, restrooms, security, RV parking for a fee, boat launch, 24-hour pump-out station, and more.
