    NEW PRICE! PLEASANT HILL SCHOOLS! Recently renovated with $150K in improvements, this beautiful home on a quiet, dead-end street on the Martinez-Pleasant Hill border is the one for you. Come home to this bright and spacious house, and experience the upgrades in every room: new counters, new flooring, new heat pump, new upstairs windows, new front door and garage door, and even a new roof. Top it off with freshly painted interior and exterior. Enjoy evenings on the massive back deck, surrounded by mature landscaping with redwoods, fruit trees, and your own hillside as a backdrop. Relax in the hot-tub, in its own separate space off the family room, where you are protected from the outside elements. This neighborhood is super friendly, with lots of young families, kids playing, festive holiday parties, and very little traffic. You'll have plenty of room for cars, trucks and toys with a two-car garage, carport, and separate RV parking.
