The living room is anchored by a handsome fireplace flanked by two sets of French doors that lead to a marvelous brick patio. This area includes a full bathroom and a small bedroom (or study).

The primary bedroom enjoys access to the rear deck with views of the waterfall. The garage was converted into a studio space a few years ago. The garage has a small storage area, and the owners use the basement/crawl space for storage. 929 Contra Costa is less than one block from the Solano Avenue shopping corridor.
