Tucked onto a generous third-of-an-acre lot in the heart of Martinez, this classic 1978 brick ranch offers timeless curb appeal and meticulous care from only its second owner. A one-car garage plus an attached one-car carport provide ample covered parking, while thoughtful exterior upgrades—including a brick mailbox and full irrigation system in both the front and back yards—reflect the pride of ownership throughout. Inside, the traditional floor plan has been enhanced for modern living with the wall removed between the family room and living room, creating a more open and inviting main living space. Plantation shutters add character and warmth, while updated windows improve efficiency and comfort. The kitchen features added custom cabinetry for extra storage and functionality, making it both practical and welcoming. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home includes an owner's suite with a walk-in closet and an updated walk-in shower designed with accessibility in mind, complete with grab bars. Additional updates include carpet replaced in 2021, a hot water heater installed in 2021, and a roof replaced in October 2023. The HVAC system is on a bi-annual service agreement with Doc Savage, offering peace of mind for the next owner. Step outside to enjoy the covered back patio overlooking a flat, fully fenced backyard—ideal for pets, play, or future garden plans. A powered workshop in the backyard adds incredible flexibility for hobbies, storage, or projects. Well-maintained, thoughtfully updated, and move-in ready—this Martinez brick ranch is a rare find that blends classic construction with modern comfort.
