You won't want to leave this GORGEOUS,NEW, MODERN FULLY FURNISHED, 2bd/1ba home that was NEVER INTENDED TO BE A RENTAL but a new home for our parents. Set in a serene, farm-/orchard-like setting with our free-range chickens and 30+ organic fruit trees, it boasts 12’ vaulted ceilings, gorgeous driftwood floors reminiscent of a walk at the beach, a chef's kitchen that extends to a beautiful patio for quintessential California indoor/outdoor living. The oversized windows bring in oodles of natural sunlight but the sound-proof insulation and super quiet mini-split HVAC keeps you so comfortable whether it’s a cool winter night or hot summer day. But the weather in Redwood City is considered “Best by Government Test” so get ready to be spoiled.
SPACIOUS BEDROOMS
The north-facing bdrm is furnished with a brand new, high-profile storage bed and Novafoam queen-sized mattress, crisp linens, and beautiful towel rack. The east-facing bdrm boasts a brand new low-profile storage bed (mattress pending). Each bedroom boasts ample closet storage with LED light and magnificent 8' sliding doors to a paved, extra-large patio (full disclosure: often visited by our pretty chickens).
GORGEOUS, RELAXING BATHROOM
Beautiful, large shower-only bathroom with a very cool, conversation-starting bidet with remote control, beautiful copper farm-themed sink and waterfall faucet along with oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. There is a lovely foldable teak shower bench for physical assistance (or shaving your legs!). You'll be hard-pressed to get up from this comfortable (and clean) position!
CHEF'S GOURMET KITCHEN
There is oodles of natural sunlight in our new home and you can gaze out any of the large windows to admire the fruit trees and enjoy the company of our beautiful, free-range chickens. Our enviable chef's dream kitchen boasts brand new appliances and phenomenal fixtures: 6-burner gas stove, Wifi-enabled 4-door refrigerator, dishwasher with timer, microwave, and toaster oven. The exquisite farmhouse copper kitchen sink, bronze faucet with pull-out handle, garbage disposal surrounded by the cool intergalactic black and white granite countertops with a piercing, geometric backsplash.
The truffle-colored solid wood cabinets have pull-out drawers and lazy Susans, as well as under-cabinet lights for late-night snacking without having to turn on all the lights. Finally, the expansive sliding patio doors lead you out to the large beautifully paved patio, perfect for BBQs and small gatherings. Enjoy meals at the large kitchen island or the dining table, looking out to the peach/nectarine/pomegranate/lemon trees. As foodies and organic gardeners, we have virtually every kitchen gadget you could need so don’t buy one—just ask. Chances are, we have it.
