About 4518 Wharf Road
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home overlooks Soquel Creek through a canopy of trees. Inside, light streams into the living room through skylights, triple-paneled sliding doors to a spacious back deck, and recessed lighting in the angled, high ceiling. Walnut hardwood floors contrast with a unique, custom-tiled gas fireplace with a dramatic wood mantle.
The living room flows around the fireplace to a dining area overlooking the deck, trees, and creek beyond through a separate set of sliding doors. Cabinetry in the dining area matches the kitchen cabinets and provides additional space for storage. In the kitchen, a domed ceiling and recessed lighting illuminate the gleaming granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and Travertine limestone floors and backsplash. Custom white cabinets add to the light, open feel. A convenient laundry area is accessible from the kitchen.
There are three carpeted bedrooms and a loft family room. The master bedroom has its own fireplace and a walk-in closet. The master bath features a tiled sink area and a tiled walk-in shower. The othe bathroom has been upgraded with a new bathtub/shower surrounded by ceramic tile, porcelain floors, marble counters, and brushed-nickel fixtures. An additional large carpeted family room has open-beam wood ceilings and a skylight.
Outside, the deck overlooks a large and peaceful backyard with native redwood trees and plenty of space for benches and birdhouses. A large enclosed workshop behind the house includes new shelving and a 9-foot workbench. The two-car garage also has a nice work bench area. The bonus room downstairs makes the basement area a useful space. Additional upgrades include a rooftop 19-panel solar power system, earthquake retrofitting, and seismic upgrades.
Close to Soquel restaurants and shops, convenient to Highway 1, and nestled in its serene, creek-side setting, this home combines nature’s calm with modern convenience and plenty of room to live, play, work, and entertain.
