31 Burnham Court, Pleasant Hill, California... $775,000

31 Burnham Court, Pleasant Hill, CAWant Pleasant Hill but don't think you can afford it?  Think Again!

Look at this corner lot, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with over 2,400 square feet.  Large rooms, hardwood flooring, new carpet, fenced yard and the commute couldn't be better.  Just hop on Taylor and go toward Lafayette/24 or 680 right down the street.  Good schools round off this amazing buy.  Owners just can't take care of the big house anymore, so  their move is your opportunity. 

Welcome to this established Pleasant Hill neighborhood.  You can enjoy the amenities of Pleasant Hill and easy access commuting too.  We are located just down Taylor to 680 freeway, or just up Taylor over the hill to Lafayette to 24 and Lafayette Bart Station. 

Welcome HOME -  that is the feeling evoked when you view this property.

31 Burnham Court, Pleasant Hill, CAThis original owner has lovingly taken care of this 1981 built home  and it has had an updated roof and dual paned windows throughout.  With 2440 square feet of living space, there is room for a KING sized master bedroom and 3 other bedrooms upstairs.  There are two full baths upstairs and a half bath downstairs. 

Enter through the beautiful oak door with leaded glass sidelights and the wide tile entry takes you down a step to the spacious formal living room and dining room.  This was the original sales model and has oak paneled walls and trims in these rooms.  The dining room looks out on the private backyard and patio area.  There is a oak rail circular staircase off the entry which takes you to the upstairs bedroom wing.

The step-down family room is also very large and has a bar area, access to inside laundry room.  But the focal point is the fireplace and mantel.  The room is open to the large kitchen and eat in kitchen with breakfast bar area as well.  There are LOTS of cabinets for the cook and lots of light from the many windows on the back of the home.

31 Burnham Court, Pleasant Hill, CAThere are wide plank hardwood floors in the kitchen and family room which add warmth and ambiance.  The family room has a slider to the back patio area. 

The KING sized master has a spa like bath area and two closets, there is an oval tub and a stall shower, with dual vanities. 

All in all, with the good local schools, easy access commute location and spacious family home, priced to sell quickly, you could have it all.

Terrylynn - This house sounds amazing and it looks fantastic!  Comfortable and inviting are the two words that come to mind...

Did I read correctly that this house has hardwoods in the kitchen?  That was one of the deciding factors for me in the home I purchased...*everyone* loves to hang out in my kitchen because they love the look and feel of the room.

YES, it does look fantastic.  I have hardwoods in my kitchen too as does this house...I LOVE THEM.  I know some are skeptical, but they are so worth it.  Just warm and inviting and rich feeling under your feet.   The owner is a little sour grapes and doesn't want to admit she was wrong about the staging being so advantageous...she can't hardly say it's nice.  But we know she thinks so.  Kym actually did the staging with me on this, here's her blog with the befores, you can really appreciate it when you see these.  It was a fun challenge and we hope it sells soon so we can show the former realtor of 10 months that staging works.  She didn't believe in staging...ugh.        http://activerain.com/blogsview/377552/It-s-Almost-Unbelievable

Terrylynn- Yes, I'd seen Kym's blog and had commented on it.  I do look forward to hearing about this home selling soon and Kym being able to send out postcards, especially to the previous Realtor(r); and of course it will be quite a feather in your cap.

Lady in Red...Thanks for the compliment.  I like the photo too...It is recent and I think we should update our photos often so they look like us.

Looks great. I like the way you flanked the one large picture with two small ones - good alternative when you don't have that one HUGE picture that fills the space!

I wish all my projects were as fun and rewarding as this one. Working with Terrylynn and Bob made it a dream project.
