About 3131 Lincoln Way

Welcome to the end of the cul-de-sac and the beginning of something special. Set on an expansive 9,025 sq ft lot, this single-level home offers the space, flexibility, and upgrades that are hard to find — and even harder to replicate. Whether you're dreaming of an ADU, future expansion, or simply craving room to spread out and relax, this home is built to adapt with you. Step inside through a mahogany entry door and feel the thoughtful updates at every turn. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2022 with new cabinetry, sleek appliances, and durable tile flooring. A reverse osmosis filtration system keeps your drinking water fresh, while the adjacent living space features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and built-in Klipsch 7.1 surround sound system — perfect for movie nights or quiet evenings in. One of the standout features of the home is the permitted 287 sq ft storage room with its own entrance and A/C, ideal for a private office, creative studio, or secure gear storage. It’s wired with low-voltage infrastructure — including ethernet, POE cameras, AV and intercom systems — offering a truly future-ready setup. The garage is a showstopper in its own right: fully insulated and drywalled, with dimmable lighting, attic storage, 5.1 surround wiring, and an electrical sub panel designed for EV chargers or serious power tools. Whether you're a contractor, a hobbyist, or just someone who values functional space, this setup delivers. Outside, the possibilities continue. The custom Anthony pool is over nine feet deep and prepped for a future remodel with updated plumbing, a new Jandy sub panel, and solar-ready infrastructure. The massive backyard is both lush and practical — a perfect mix of lawn, patio, fruit trees, and smart irrigation systems, all bordered by mature trees and friendly neighbors. You’ll find an avocado tree, peach, navel orange, olive, and a young Chinese elm. With a new roof and rain gutters (2024), a replaced sewer line, upgraded electrical system, extensive landscape wiring (including GFCIs and holiday lighting), and detailed seismic preparation — this home is designed to serve your needs decades from now. Tucked away in a quiet interior neighborhood near parks, great schools, and friendly neighbors, this is the kind of place where people put down roots and stay awhile. And with conceptual house plans included, the next chapter is already outlined — it’s just waiting for you to write it.
