INDOOR/OUTDOOR LIVING AT ITS BEST! Enter a spacious living room with a fireplace, built-ins, and newly refinished hardwood floors that lead throughout the main floor living area, which features the kitchen, original bathroom, one bedroom, and a multi-use “playroom/office” that provides access to a mature, colorful garden full of surprises. Split levels take you up to a light-filled bedroom with filtered views, and down to three light-filled bonus rooms* plus a bathroom. There are two entrances to this lower level, and it was said that a previous owner created this lower space as an in-law unit*. The rear garden is magical, with thoughtful, up-terraced landscaping and a natural spring-fed pond containing resident fishies. There is a large, private, covered patio featuring a brick barbecue, and a rear studio* where a prolific Renaissance Man produced an impressive body of art. The basement holds the laundry appliances and provides plenty of storage, and there is a large, detached garage as well. Hidden from view is a compliant sewer lateral and permitted electrical system upgrade that eliminated the knob-and-tube wiring. Currently known as Poinsett Park, this neighborhood was developed as “Mira Vista”. Local newspapers suggest that the stately homes of the neighborhood were developed for refinery executives fleeing “urban” Point Richmond, and their homes and the street named after them- Tuller, Dimm, etc.-still live on. This is a unique property in a very desirable neighborhood with EZ access to BART, I-80, and Trans Bay buses, Mira Vista off-leash dog park, and the diverse food and commerce activity along San Pablo Avenue – Mi Casa Grill, Catahoula Coffee Roasters, Top Thai, El Mono, Waffles and Cream, and El Toucan Taqueria, as well as Planet Fitness, Safeway, Target, and Home Depot. OPEN HOUSES 09/17 FROM 9:30-12:30, 09/19 & 09/20 FROM 2-4:30 *Buyer to verify use of space. Neither seller nor listing agent has investigated or verified the accuracy of any of these sources of information nor that these spaces are or may be made into legally habitable spaces. Buyer must conduct their own investigation with the city and appropriate professionals and rely solely on that investigation.

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!

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.
