Available for the first time in decades, this remarkable home has panoramic bay views and is surrounded by extensive gardens on an enormous 13,255 sq ft secluded flat lot in the Richmond hills. This property presents a rare opportunity to own a large parcel in the inner East Bay, perfect for an urban farm, future communal living, or ADU potential. Up the front steps to a view porch, enter into a bright living room grounded by a large fireplace. This room flows into the dining room, kitchen (w/ mahogany cabinets) and den, where you’ll then have direct access to the fully fenced gardens. With private views out to the gardens, the bedrooms are located down a central hall where a large bathroom with separate shower and soaking tub are located. This home has original oak wood flooring, double-paned windows, tons of storage and has been seismically retrofitted. There is a palatial gardening shed (hello future home office) and a huge basement. The gardens are designed as rooms w/in the landscape and are watered by the spring fed well. Spaces include a large kitchen garden with raised beds, a wide lawn with ornamental beds, a dining patio, amid other treasures that are connected through a series of meandering paths studded with fruit trees. Close to amenities + transportation corridors. Views: Downtown
