Property Description

Pristine single-story mid-century bungalow, perched on a quiet street in desirable and friendly Richmond Heights! This 3-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home embraces the era's clean lines with thoughtful and stylish updates inside and out, and encourages you to take a deep breath and relax. Just inside the front door you’ll find the first bedroom, which could also function as a great office or guest bedroom. The spacious living room is anchored by the gas-fueled fireplace, adorned with deep-sea blue Heath tiles. The main living space flows easily to the dining area, featuring a big bay window with peek-a-boo views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay, and into the recently updated kitchen featuring matching deep blue cabinets, waterfall quartz countertops, brass fixtures, a farmhouse porcelain sink with Grohe faucet, Bosch stainless cooktop, double ovens & dishwasher, and an LG stainless refrigerator. Conveniently located on the back porch is a tidy half bathroom and pantry cabinet. Continuing through the house, the beautifully renovated full bathroom continues the deep blue sea theme with gorgeous Heath tiled walk-in shower, a classy marble vanity with LED-lighted mirror, and a Toto toilet + washlet. Two well-proportioned bedrooms at the rear of the home complete the floor plan, one with a sliding glass door to the back yard, providing easy access to the huge 2-car garage, which awaits a new owner’s creativity: home gym, art studio, ADU…? Hardwood floors and Marvin dual-paned windows and sliding glass doors throughout. Many energy-efficient features accompany this already dreamy package: New roof and solar panels + battery backup in 2025, heat pump (heat + AC) in 2025, tankless water heater. Sited on a large 6000 square foot lot, with low-maintenance, Japanese-style gardens featuring fruit trees, Japanese maples and a regal weeping blue spruce. Property address maps to Mira Vista Elementary, Korematsu Middle, and El Cerrito HS*. Easy access to I-80 and a short drive to Del Norte BART & Richmond ferry landing. Sewer compliant. Move right in and get comfortable! *Buyers to verify
