Description

Originally a petite 2-bedroom cottage, this sweet home grew into a 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow with a newer primary suite and an open concept kitchen/dining/living area in 2015. Its huge level backyard, abundant with fruit trees (persimmon, apple, plum), artichokes, herbs, and berries, has always been coveted by the current owners, as it was by the former owner. It is a rare and beautiful environment that fully extends the indoor space. A fabulous detached, backyard workshop, and charming gardener’s shed, tucked at the rear of the yard, enhance the home and grounds, and offer tremendous possibilities*. The current owners used the workshop as such and loved to build and create there. Perhaps you have always wanted to create an art or hobby space, or you would love to tinker and refine your carpentry skills. These spaces will support these passions.* 

When you are ready to venture out, many amenities are close by, including Alvarado Park, Catahoula Coffee, Tacos El Tuca’n, Factory Bar, and numerous shops and markets.

Features:

  • Almost level in entry and one-level living

  • Living room with large picture window and gleaming hardwood floor

  • Refreshed kitchen with solid surface countertops, built-in double oven and range top, breakfast bar, and beautiful tile backsplash, purchased by the owners on a trip to Turkey. The kitchen opens to the dining area with French doors to the backyard, and is partially open to the living room as well.

  • Bedroom one overlooks the front yard, with a large closet

  • Bedroom two overlooks the backyard, also with a large closet

  • Hall bath with shower over tub, slate floor, and contemporary pedestal

  • Primary bedroom with two closets, newer dual-pane windows, and en suite bath. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower with beautiful tile work, a large wall-mounted vanity, and slate floor.

  • Magical, sun-filled backyard with lawn, patio, numerous areas for gardening, fruit trees, berries, and veggies. The yard is truly a gardener’s paradise.

Richmond

Home to some of the Bay Area's best seaside parks, beaches, fishing piers, biking and jogging trails.

Welcome to Richmond

With 32 miles of coastal shoreline, the city of Richmond is known for its panoramic, unobstructed views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin's Mount Tamalpais.
 
Home to some of the Bay Area's best seaside parks, beaches, fishing piers, biking and jogging trails, wildlife preserves and yacht harbors, Richmond is a haven for families looking for a higher quality of life, a lower cost of living, and the water's edge.
 
Located 16 miles northeast of San Francisco across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the city of Richmond is one of the most convenient commuter spots in the entire Bay Area. It has excellent public transportation, including BART, bus, train and ferry service to the surrounding cities. By freeway, San Francisco is within 35 minutes, Marin is 10 minutes away, and the city of Oakland is a 20-minute drive.
 
Richmond experienced a huge growth spurt in the years leading up to and spanning World War II. It was a major shipbuilding center and attracted thousands of defense workers from all over the country. There could have been a billboard saying "Rosie the Riveter" lives here. Richmond's real estate is comprised of mainly or mid- to late-20th century ranch-style homes, townhouses and condominiums. There are also rural areas, such as the hills surrounding Wildcat Canyon, where homeowners enjoy expansive acreage, complete with horses and access to wooded riding and hiking trails.
 
Unique places to check out in Richmond include the Richmond Art Center, one of the oldest art centers of the West Coast. It continues to be a wonderful community resource with great teachers, studios, and galleries. The Point Pinole Regional Shoreline is a great place to spot migratory birds, and Annie's Annuals Nursery is the source for California native flowers.
 
Those who enjoy indoor swimming can check out the completely refurbished Richmond Municipal Natatorium, also known as the Plunge. This treasured recreational venue is now equipped with LED lighting, solar panel-generated power, and an ultraviolet disinfectant system and saline chlorination that eliminates the stinging and odor of chlorine.
 
Just about every major suburban store and restaurant chain can be found along the many retail corridors of Richmond and at the expansive Hilltop Mall. Residents looking for a more urban experience can meander through the scenic waterfront village of downtown Point Richmond, popping into the endless independently-owned shops, galleries, grocery stores, cafes and restaurants.
