1509 Ortega Drive

Description

Nestled along the border of Pleasant Hill and Martinez, 1509 Ortega Drive is a beautifully updated home gracefully set on a gentle hillside in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Martinez. The front yard features a beautiful design with manicured shrubs, mature trees, a mix of colorful flowering bushes, offering a clean and tidy curb appeal. A concrete driveway leads to a two-car garage, while a defined walkway brings you to the front entrance, setting a welcoming tone before you even step inside.

As you enter, you’re immediately welcomed by soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive windows that fill the formal living room with natural light. Rich-toned, wide-plank floors extend throughout the main living areas, creating a seamless and elegant flow. Custom shutters add timeless charm while offering privacy and light control. A few steps up lead to the formal dining area, where a modern chandelier hangs above and open views of the living room below create an airy yet connected feel, perfect for gatherings and everyday living.

From the dining area, you flow into the heart of the home: a beautifully designed kitchen featuring light cabinetry with soft-close drawers, tasteful countertops, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including a double oven and built-in microwave. A cozy seating nook at the far end provides the perfect place for morning coffee, reading, or simply soaking in the garden views. Just beyond the kitchen, the family room invites relaxation with its vaulted ceilings, sleek modern fan, and a neutral tile fireplace. French doors open directly onto the backyard’s multi-level deck, blending indoor comfort with outdoor enjoyment.

The hallway leads to the private bedroom wing. At the end of the hall, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with its own direct access to the elevated backyard deck, ideal for enjoying quiet mornings or unwinding at sunset. The ensuite bathroom includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, a private water closet, while the bedroom features an expansive walk-in closet with built-in shelving for optimal organization. Three additional spacious bedrooms offer ample light and flexibility, and share a full hallway bathroom with a tub-shower combo. A separate laundry room with overhead storage adds ease and efficiency to daily routines.

You will find convenient access to the two-car garage on the entry level. This space includes multiple built-in storage areas, making it easy to organize tools, equipment, or seasonal items. Directly across the hallway from the garage is an additional storage closet, offering even more room to stay organized.

The backyard is a true highlight of the property, offering a beautifully landscaped, two-tiered outdoor sanctuary perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and connecting with nature. The lawn has been recently refreshed and is bordered by a charming path of natural stone pavers that wind through softly mulched garden beds. A mature tree provides gentle shade over a birdbath fountain, while thoughtfully placed bird feeders attract chirping visitors throughout the day. On one side of the home, a picturesque white trellis leads to a private garden path that extends toward a side gate. On the opposite side, a gently sloped concrete walkway with steps runs along the house, bordered by wood fencing, and leads to a wide double gate, ideal for storing a boat, trailer, or additional equipment with ease.

This home is ideally located near the Pleasant Hill border, providing you access to some of the most desirable schools in the area. Just minutes away is one of the region’s most scenic parks, featuring open fields, picnic areas, and walking trails. The neighborhood is peaceful and welcoming, with easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment in Pleasant Hill, Martinez, and Walnut Creek. More than just a house, it is a place where thoughtful design, comfort, and natural beauty come together in one of the most special settings.
