Inside, refinished hardwood floors run throughout an open, light-filled layout where the living, dining, and kitchen spaces connect seamlessly. A skylight pours natural light over the updated kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and bar seating designed for everyday ease and connection.

The yard is flat, sun-filled, and finished with low-maintenance turf, offering an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Additional improvements include Milgard windows, updated siding, electrical upgrades, new fencing, retaining walls, shed installation, and low-maintenance landscaping with irrigation, reflecting consistent care and thoughtful ownership over time. Enjoy bay views, nearby access to Wildcat Canyon trails, and convenient connections to El Cerrito BART, Richmond Ferry, and Berkeley via Arlington. Richmond Heights offers a rare blend of community, nature, and accessibility, one of the East Bay's best-kept secrets where neighbors still know each other. Come experience it for yourself.
