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.
