Lavender out front and olive trees glowing at dusk set the tone for this move-in ready 2-bedroom, 2-bath Richmond bungalow, which pairs easy charm with the kind of behind-the-walls upgrades buyers rarely find. The big-ticket work is already done. Step inside to wood floors and fresh paint, setting a bright, relaxed tone from the front door on. The kitchen was rebuilt to the studs, with new cabinetry and a California-made Fireclay tile backsplash. Both bathrooms have been updated, and the second bath, a permitted addition, features a tiled shower and built-in niche. New closet doors and bedroom light fixtures add finishing touches. The backyard is a gardener's delight, with three pear trees, a Santa Rosa plum, pineapple guava, strawberries and drip and spray irrigation throughout. The detached garden room offers flexible space for a home office, hobby room or studio and doubles as ample deep storage. The garage, with dedicated power, lighting, GFCI outlets and its own subpanel, makes a natural workshop. Uplit olive trees and lit front and back porches make evenings outside especially inviting. Much of the work that matters most is the work you can't see. The electrical was upgraded to a 200-amp, solar-ready panel with AFCI circuits, and the old wall furnace gave way to central forced-air heat from a high-efficiency gas furnace, with all-new insulated ductwork, MERV 13 whole-house filtration and a Wi-Fi thermostat. Hot water comes from a tankless heater, and copper supply lines are protected by a pressure regulator and an automatic leak-shutoff valve. Add a seismic gas shutoff, a fully replaced sewer lateral and a durable elastomeric exterior paint, and you have a home that has been cared for inside and out and is ready to enjoy from day one. The neighborhood is friendly and walkable. Stroll to Poinsett, Mira Vista and Canyon Trail parks, grab pizza at Richmond Pizza House or walk to Mi Casa Grill, Williams Natural Foods and Grocery Outlet. Assigned to Mira Vista Elementary, Korematsu Middle and El Cerrito High (buyer to verify). Commuting to San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland is simple: the Transbay L bus stop is a short walk, El Cerrito del Norte BART is also within walking distance, AC Transit Line 7 stops a block away, and the Richmond Ferry and I-80 are close by. Cared for one project at a time, this is a home that's ready for its next chapter, with room to make it your own.
