Celebrating 10 years: fixed fees, full service, fast responses

Property search · The Consumer Protection Brokerage

Every listing shows your estimated rebate.

The green number on each home is what could come back to you: the buyer-broker fee (typically 2 to 3%) minus our flat $9,750. No other search shows you this, because no other brokerage gives it back.

Welcome to 1216 Via Alta, a well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offering 1,144 sq. ft. of living space on a spacious 0.19-acre lot. This home combines classic charm with more than $75,000 in thoughtful upgrades and improvements completed over the years. Major updates include the replacement of the home's original cast iron plumbing with ABS and copper plumbing throughout, with copper water lines routed through the attic. New gas lines, a furnace, and all-new ductwork were completed in 2010. In 2012, new drywall and insulation were installed throughout the home. The central A/C system was installed in 2022 and includes a MicroPure filtration system. The roof was replaced in 2010, the water heater was updated in 2017, and the home also features a water softener and dual-pane windows throughout. Additional improvements include updated tile flooring in 2021, exterior stucco completed by Santa Maria Plaster in 2021, and a new stove installed in May 2026. The living area is enhanced by a cozy fireplace, while a Smith's Home Alarm system adds another convenient feature. Outside, enjoy retaining wall improvements in both the front and backyard, along with generous backyard space offering plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, relaxing, or creating your own outdoor retreat. With numerous major systems already updated and a sizable lot, 1216 Via Alta offers a great combination of comfort, functionality, and long-term value.
