Tucked into the serene hills of East Richmond Heights near the El Cerrito border, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers warmth, mid-century character, and inviting spaces designed for gathering. Sunlight pours through the picture window in the living room, where filtered Bay views and a cozy fireplace create the perfect backdrop for quiet mornings and evenings watching the sun set over the water. The kitchen radiates warmth with wood-beamed ceilings, Shaker-style wood cabinetry, and Corian countertops. New Limestone-look porcelain tile adds depth and contrast, and a new dishwasher enhances everyday convenience.* Two large windows bathe the space in beautiful natural light. Rich with personality, the wood-paneled bar room feels like the soul of the home. Picture hosting friends from behind the full bar, shaking up craft cocktails or mocktails while a card game unfolds nearby, a favorite show plays in the background, or the room is turned into the ultimate game lounge. Anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove and finished with new Limestone-look porcelain tile*, the space feels equal parts vintage retreat and everyday escape. The elevated rear deck and backyard below offer a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors, unwind beneath the open sky, or pick lemons from the flourishing Meyer Lemon tree. Refinished hardwood floors in the living room and bedrooms, new herringbone-patterned Fireclay tile* in the laundry room, fresh interior and exterior paint, a refreshed primary bath, and a completely renovated hall bathroom blend timeless charm with thoughtful updates. Major improvements include a new furnace and ductwork, water heater, six new windows to make all windows dual-pane, fresh landscaping, new light fixtures, and new fire-rated HardieBoard siding and stucco on two sides of the home.* All work to prepare for sale has been completed with the necessary permits for peace of mind. The home also has solar panels with grandfathered NEM 2.0 status, and an ample 1-car garage that has been previously used as a workshop. Peacefully perched in the hills two blocks from the natural beauty and hiking trails of Wildcat Canyon, yet conveniently located just down the street from Arlington Market, steps from the #7 AC transit bus line, moments from BART, I-80, shopping, and dining, this home is a respite to slow down and savor everyday life while also enjoying easy access to life's necessities. *New items, 2026.
