About This Property

Welcome to 925 Avis Dr, a one-of-a-kind private compound where character, comfort, and sweeping Bay views come together. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2,341 sq ft of versatile living space, this distinctive property blends timeless charm with exceptional indoor-outdoor living, complete with a detached ADU and beautifully terraced grounds.  The main residence welcomes you with warm hardwood and terracotta tile floors, a cozy tiled fireplace, and a light-filled custom kitchen featuring a butcher-block island, rich green tile accents, and a sunny breakfast nook with a built-in window bench. Thoughtfully designed for everyday living and entertaining, the home offers flexible spaces, with ground-floor bedrooms opening directly to the lower outdoor areas.  Tucked away from the main house, the charming detached ADU offers a character all its own. Dramatic vaulted wood-beam ceilings, a skylight, and a cozy sleeping loft with ladder access create a distinctive retreat. A fully equipped kitchen, stylish vanity bath, and private bedroom with exposed wood ceilings and bay windows make this space ideal for extended family, visiting guests, or a private home office.  Step outside to discover a resort-inspired, terraced backyard designed for relaxation and connection. Stone flagstone patios create inviting gathering spaces, while a gazebo-covered hot tub offers the perfect place to unwind. A rustic greenhouse invites your gardening pursuits, and a spiral staircase leads to an elevated view deck where you can take in the surrounding scenery and sweeping Bay views.  Additional highlights include solar panels, a radiant heating system, and an attached finished garage.  Rarely does a property offer this much character, privacy, and versatility in one setting. With its captivating views, distinctive architectural details, separate living quarters, and enchanting outdoor spaces, 925 Avis Dr is more than a home-it's a private retreat with room to live, gather, and make it your own.
