Over the years, 280 Farrelly Drive has seen a thoughtful series of upgrades that reflect the owners’ commitment to quality, comfort, and modern living.
In 2025, they reimagined the curb appeal with a vibrant drought-tolerant landscape, installing over 50 new plants supported by a drip irrigation system and fresh ground cover. Inside, new light fixtures were added throughout the foyer, living room, and bedrooms, while fresh paint brightened the interior walls, ceilings, kitchen cabinet faces, and even the front door and exterior concrete. A glass back door replaced the original for added natural light, and the foyer was updated with stylish tile flooring. The dining room was smartly walled off from the foyer to create more intentional spaces, and the primary bathroom received a new toilet for added comfort.
In 2023, the owners invested $15,000 in a complete renovation of the primary bathroom, opting for a sleek, modern design with high-end fixtures. That same year, they made significant sustainable energy improvements totaling $40,000, including the installation of a Tesla solar panel system and an electric vehicle charging station—future-proofing the home for evolving lifestyle needs.
Back in 2021, the garage underwent a $10,000 professional transformation into a highly functional, dual-purpose space. The custom-designed layout includes a dedicated home office, a workshop area, and retains ample storage with an expansive attic above. A year earlier, in 2020, the backyard was enhanced with the installation of a lush lawn, creating a serene and inviting outdoor living area. Smart home features were also introduced that year, including a Nest learning thermostat for energy efficiency and a Wyze security camera system for added peace of mind.
The renovation journey began in 2019 with a $15,000 full remodel of the secondary bathroom, bringing in modern finishes and functionality. Additionally, a $5,000 seismic retrofit was completed to strengthen the foundation—an essential safety upgrade, especially in the Bay Area.
Each improvement has been carefully planned and professionally executed, showcasing a true pride of ownership and a vision for long-term livability.
