Nestled on a quiet hidden side street this Westbrae gem has been meticulously remodeled and is move-in ready. 1451 Catherine Drive features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, an open concept chef’s kitchen and dining room, professionally designed drought tolerant and low maintenance landscaping and an attached garage with interior access to the house.
The absolutely stunning chef’s kitchen features GE Monogram appliances including a 48” dual fuel range (gas cooktop with electric ovens), 48” side by side refrigerator/freezer, double wine refrigerators, a built-in microwave, 2 Miele dishwashers and a 48” Zephyr range hood. Pull up a stool to the central island - perfect for prepping dinner and entertaining. The custom cabinetry is complimented by the gorgeous quartz countertops and custom tile backsplashes. The kitchen door invites you to step out onto the deck and down into the tranquil and very private backyard with a stone patio perfect for outdoor living.
This home has been completely remodeled top to bottom with thoughtful details and sparing no expense: Central A/C for those hot days; All new Marvin double pane windows are positioned to maximize both sun light and interior furniture placement (and include full length curtains and shades); Large showers (one with a built-in bench) feature level in floors; Abundant custom cabinetry with glass doors and back lighting enhance the dining room; The large living room features a bay window; Gleaming oak hardwood floors grace the main level. The long driveway accommodates multiple vehicles, a boat or RV and the attached garage has easy interior access to the house. A floor plan is available for a possible future expansion to include 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
The professionally designed landscaping features a front yard with fun, hardy plants, many from South Africa and Australia – compatible with our arid California climate, and a backyard with pollinator friendly plants and edibles: an established Persimmon tree, a Blueberry patch (four bushes with three varieties), Pineapple Guava, a non-fruiting Olive tree and culinary thyme to use in cooking. Outdoor evenings are magical thanks to the low profile outdoor lighting.
