864 Dolphin Dr, Danville, CA 94526

864dolphin.com - Charming single-level, ranch-style home in the Danville's desirable Leander Hills off El Cerro neighborhood comes on the market for the first time. Lovingly maintained all these years since it was built, the 2,300-square-foot home sits on a sprawling more than third-acre lot and showcases one of the more generous backyards in the neighborhood. (At the request of the homeowner, the house was built just a little forward on the lot to open up the backyard space without compromising the deep setback.) A front paver walkway, lush landscaping and rolling lawn, spacious front courtyard and majestic Blue Spruce, (an original house-warming gift) create the “come on in” and welcoming curb appeal. Inside the spacious rooms are filled with natural light from large windows and skylights and the rooms easily flow together. From the spacious foyer, step down into the formal living room, a large room with vaulted ceiling, corner floor-to-ceiling front-facing windows, and fireplace with its stone surround that soars to the ceiling. The formal dining room is another spacious room for those more formal gatherings. A wet bar with sink and raised counter is perfectly situated between the two rooms. The eat-in kitchen is bright with natural light. Custom cabinetry and workstation along the dining nook provides lots of storage options and a front facing window frames the view of the garden. The kitchen is well designed with lots of counter space, and breakfast bar, cabinetry, oven, microwave, cooktop and refrigerator. Step down into the family room and still keep an eye on the cooks in the kitchen. There is a brick fireplace along one wall, built-in shelving and a large sliding glass door that opens onto the backyard patios. There are four bedrooms including an office/library with its wall of custom built-ins. A full bathroom with shower/tub combination also has access to the backyard. The master bedroom at the end of the hall has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beam, mirrored closet doors, and a dual-sink vanity in the bathroom with large shower and built-in bench. Sliding glass doors from the bedroom provide easy access to the backyard patio and pool and lots of natural light. Entertain, play and relax in the incredibly private park-like backyard with unobstructed views. A spacious patio wraps around the pool, a detached cabana with built-in benches provides the ideal outdoor dining venue or place to gather with family and friends out of the summer sun. Kick around the ball on the rolling lawn and view the colorful foliage along the perimeter beds. Even more space is available to customize further with a bocce ball court, horseshoe pit, or putting green. Plant fruit trees and vegetables in raised garden beds and harvest the fresh produce. Additional features include laundry hidden behind bi-fold doors in the wide hallway, a three-car garage with workbench and storage, utility sink, two hot water heaters including a solar water heater, covered workshop/storage area, and wide side yards for additional gardens, dog run or potting shed. Ideally located about a mile and a half to downtown Danville, it is also close to Highway 680, Oakhill Park, miles of hiking at Mt. Diablo State Park and close to top-rated schools in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District including about a mile to Vista Grande Elementary and Los Cerros Middle, and about two miles to Monte Vista High School.
