Welcome to the "Richmond Riviera," a peaceful community of waterfront homes in Brickyard Cove. The house is sun-drenched, and the natural light reflects off the Bay in colorful and interesting patterns throughout the day. East-facing front rooms take advantage of the sunrise, and the house is well-sheltered in the cove from the fog and wind, providing easy in and out boat access from the deep-water dock. Enjoy watching the water birds in the cove and occasional egrets fishing from the boat dock. Wrap-around decks offer spectacular views and alfresco dining, and are ideal for large or small gatherings. You and your guests will enjoy the water views at sunset, with the western light reflecting beautifully on the Bay. With superb indoor/outdoor flow, the spacious kitchen extension is perfect for laying out a buffet, and the small bar in the living room provides a second location for drinks. Drop down the water spotlight and watch the underwater wildlife through the window in the living room floor! Truly this is a perfect home for entertaining. When not entertaining, you'll enjoy the peace and tranquility that waterfront living offers. This retreat has a den facing the Bay which could also be a third bedroom, with a full-sized closet and en-suite bathroom. Bedrooms on the second floor each have large closets and their own private decks. The third floor can serve as a home office or additional guest sleeping space. With 2,142 square feet (per public record), the layout offers a flexible use of living spaces and a nice sense of openness. High quality construction throughout with significant structural improvements include the following: structural glulam work done, newer roof, dock and ramp replaced, remodeled kitchen with Corian counters, stainless steel appliances, and the tasteful addition of the "pantry room," new retaining wall with pretty front garden and irrigation system, and sewer lateral work completed for required compliance. Energy-efficient upgrades include solar hot water, solar electric, and thermal windows and sliding doors. Close to the beach, trails, parks and historic Downtown Point Richmond, there's plenty to explore and enjoy nearby. Easy access to freeway and the ferry to San Francisco is a project in motion, coming soon. This home in Brickyard Cove has been well loved for the past 22 years and is ready for the next new owner to follow the same path.
