Tucked into the serene enclave of Alhambra Hills, this exceptional Martinez home offers the rare combination of timeless elegance, modern upgrades, and resort-style outdoor living — all wrapped in one of the East Bay's most sought-after neighborhoods. Striking curb appeal meets smart ownership: a stucco and tile-roof exterior is crowned by a fully owned solar system with transferable NEM2 rate lock — imagine no electric bill along with new Milgard windows. The rich hardwood floors flow through the main level where a gracious foyer opens to a sweeping staircase. The kitchen is outfitted with a Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher alongside a GE Café cooktop and wall ovens. A coveted downstairs bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests, in-laws, or a home office. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary with a private sitting room retreat, generous walk-in closets and spa-style bath with a Toto washlet. Two additional bedrooms share well-appointed full bath. The backyard is nothing short of spectacular — lush landscaping frames a resort-worthy pool and spa, freshly resurfaced by Adams Pool in the Stone Beach Series St. Croix finish, a shimmering white fine-pebble plaster that elevates the space year-round. The three-car garage includes an EV charger, completing a home that checks every box. Over $150k in upgrades since they bought four years ago. Perfect for families with teenagers — spend summers poolside while the highly rated Martinez schools set them up for success.
