Property Description

Relax in Your Own Private Garden! Don’t you think it's time to relax in your own private garden? Your agent and I both think you earned it! And wait till you see this garden! Don’t stress, I promise I will get to talking about the house itself eventually, but first… You enter the backyard onto the expansive deck among established olive, mature nectarine, plum, and Meyer lemon trees. One path leads to a small finished shed with AC, which has been used as an office*; the other path circles around to the productive grapevine that climbs over the arbor and shelters a special surprise. Enjoy a secluded outdoor spa experience in the vintage bathtub with working hot water nestled in the most private corner. If that isn’t your vibe, no problem! Simply convert the tub to a stylish raised bed for planting! The outdoor space was meticulously designed to be low-water, low-effort, and low-maintenance, with drought-tolerant, native, and Mediterranean plants like yucca, agave, fragrant rosemary and sage, all of which make a beautiful home for butterflies and pollinators throughout the year. In front, the verge between street and yard is populated with established roses in peach, yellow, and pink, which bloom beautifully from Feb-Aug. In the front yard, a lush willow wattle provides further privacy from the suburban street. You may have forgotten by now, but there is also a whole house to talk about as well! In the signature Spanish Revival style of Charles MacGregor, this sweet home features natural light, easy flow, an EV charger, and architectural details including graceful archways, coved ceilings, matchstick hardwood floors, and decorative tiles. The living room is framed with a nearly floor-to-ceiling teardrop window, which beautifully harmonizes with the original cast iron and stone wood-burning fireplace. The dining room and eat-in kitchen have thoughtful touches throughout, such as a restored butcher block countertop and handmade Heath Ceramics and Arto tile. All of this in the highly sought-after hidden gem of the East Bay, Richmond N&E, a vibrant neighborhood with a thriving food scene where suburban living meets big city conveniences. So take a deep breath; your search is over. Time to fall in love, put down roots, and relax at last in your own beautiful home. *Buyer to investigate.
