136 Follett St, Richmond, CA 94801

Affordable, Stylish living that's within close proximity to San Francisco? Not impossible - it's a reality found in this gorgeous 2-Bedroom Townhouse (Condo) in the uniquely historical Atchison Village mutual housing development tucked away just off the San Rafael Bridge near Point Richmond. What makes Atchison Village so unique? It is a mutual cooperative community where occupants each "own" shares of the buildings. Each owner pays their monthly HOA fee (which includes property taxes, exterior and interior, community parks maintenance) each month. It includes garbage and water utilities. Ownership rights are transferable. At Atchison Village, owners live in and really care about their homes and the community. Many owners are multi-generational from diverse backgrounds and cultures and have lived here for extended periods of time. Long-term rentals are not allowed creating a stronger sense of neighborhood and community. Atchison Village is a special place where neighbors support and watch over one another. They have their own community hall, recreation fields and social events. Everything about "the Village" speaks to its unusually strong sense of of community values. It's truly a rarity in today's society. Our home at 136 Follett St. has been especially well-cared for. It was tastefully updated (over $27,000 worth of improvements) with care to add meaningful improvements (such as improved insulation, dual-pane windows) while respecting and enhancing the original architectural details. The bathroom was remodeled with custom tile work from a locally recognized artist. The wooden floors downstairs are original and beautifully refinished! All work was done by licensed contractors, permits obtained from the City of Richmond and approved by the HOA maintenance group. It's arguably one of the nicest units in all of the community.
