Property Description

Nestled in the peaceful hills of East Richmond Heights near the end of a secluded street, this lovingly maintained home offers tranquil hillside living with easy access to everyday essentials. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Wildcat Canyon and nearby trails, while the grocery store is just two blocks away, and El Cerrito del Norte BART and I-80 are right down the hill. Step into the light-filled living room where you are welcomed by the timeless brick fireplace and wood beamed ceilings. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2014 with a focus on function, storage, and style, and includes a new refrigerator (2024). Both the hall and en-suite bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed while maintaining their vintage flair in the tile. Other updates include new carpet, freshly painted interior, and brand new doors on the 2-car garage. The home is equipped with central AC and a tankless water heater for modern comfort. The backyard is a true retreat, inviting you to unwind or entertain with ease. Step onto the deck to lounge or dine while enjoying the sounds of birdsong and a peek-a-boo view of the Bay and surrounding hills. The expansive lot includes a grassy area and mature trees—royal palm, fig, orange, and lemon. Come discover the charm and comfort of life here.
