🏡 Upper Rockridge Open House - April 18 & 19, 2-5p 🏡 Upper Rockridge Open House - April 18 & 19, 2-5pm When I first visited 84 Templar Place, it struck me how far away it felt. The chirping birds agreed! This 3+ bedroom, 2-bath home is tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac that's minutes from 13, Montclair Village, Lake Temescal, Piedmont Ave, and Rockridge shops and dining. Move-in ready with fresh updates, a flexible layout, and a large landscaped lot featuring a new deck, side yard, and VERY cool bonus building you have to see. That bonus space has been used as an office and would be a great gym or craft workshop. How will you use it? Come visit to explore the possibilities and message for details or a private tour!

There are lots more making flat-packed modular, pre-fab that get craned in, and of course custom builders. Check out my post with a few other companies who were at the expo: https://susiewyshak.com/bay-area-pre-fab-adu-vendors/ DISCLAIMER! Be sure to do your own research and due diligence to find out what is allowed by your town, what is allowed on your property, and laws coming down the pike that might be a good reason to wait to do anything. All pricing should be verified as well. Got real estate, ADU or home ownership / home selling questions? Need to find a real estate agent in another part of the country or the world? Just ask!
