Cherished Mid-Century Masterpiece near Wildcat Canyon

Welcome to this timeless mid-century single-family home, lovingly maintained by its original owners and updated for modern living. Nestled at the base of the hills near the Richmond/San Pablo border, this property provides both classic architectural character and an ideal, central location for Bay Area commuting.

Step onto the charming brick front porch and through the front door to find an inviting entryway foyer with iconic mid-century pony wall boasting elongated brick and vertical wood spindles, setting a stylish tone for the rest of the home. The interior features fresh paint, brand-new vinyl plank flooring, and updated light fixtures (2026). The open-concept living and dining rooms are bathed in exceptional natural light from oversized windows. At the heart of this spacious living area is a grand central fireplace, offering a cozy and dramatic focal point for gatherings. The bright kitchen is equipped with a stacked stone backsplash, a separate eat-in area, and modern black appliances—including a built-in double oven and separate cooktop. A dedicated laundry hallway connects the eat-in kitchen back to the front hallway, creating a highly functional, circular floor plan. Retreat to the private primary suite, which includes a large closet and an en-suite bathroom* with a dedicated shower stall.

Outside, a long driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to a detached, oversized garage with a one-car parking bay and an adjacent workshop area. The fully fenced backyard is a professionally landscaped, low-maintenance oasis. Enjoy outdoor dining on the sunny back patio, surrounded by multiple garden beds with established succulents and a mature, producing lemon tree.

Conveniently located with instant access to Interstate 80 and BART, this home makes Bay Area commuting effortless. You are also just minutes away from shopping at the San Pablo Town Center and outdoor adventures along the Wildcat Canyon hiking trails.
