On a hill above downtown Fairfax, with open views to the East, is a special retreat at 53 Manzanita Court. You are greeted by the spacious courtyard shaded by a centuries old oak tree and adorned with a paver entry path and stone patio. Inside the front door is a gracious living room, but you will be pulled through the dining area and toward the newly remodeled kitchen by the glorious view of the Ross Valley just beyond the kitchen window. With ample cabinet storage, quartz counters, stainless steel Bosch appliances all a timeless style. The kitchen will excite even the most sophisticated home chef. The dining area flows effortlessly onto a large view deck, perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining, while taking in the views of surrounding hills, oak trees and the rising sun. Also on the main floor of the house are two generously sized bedrooms (one on suite) and 2 newly updated bathrooms complete with stylish vanities, current light fixtures and tiled shower/bath surrounds and floors. Many of the windows and doors were recently replaced and of high quality. Downstairs is a large 2 car garage, utilitarian half bath and 3rd room with both interior and exterior access. Beyond the house is a rear yard that could be further developed. 1/2 mile to the bustling downtown.
