Do you like interesting architectural detail and textures? A light-filled home with fabulous views of the hills, Bay, and San Francisco? You will find all of this and more at 430 High Street in Point Richmond. Built and owned by architect and Richmond Bridge engineer Joe Sing in the 1990s, it hugs the hillside above town on three levels with a reverse floor plan. You enter on the third floor, which offers an expansive master suite (views to die for, including a room-sized bath and walk-in closet, an office or TV room with fireplace off the foyer, and a “breakfast deck” with efficiency kitchen between the office and bedroom. Also: an elevator in addition to the gently sloping and generously sized wood staircase surrounded by windows between the floors. The middle floor has an expansive guest suite with another full bath and a laundry room that could be converted to a galley kitchen if so desired. The first floor (ground level) offers a large kitchen with pantry, Wolf range, eating island, and breakfast nook. Beyond it is the living/dining room (40 ft. width), which opens to a brick terrace/courtyard surrounded on three sides by the building’s different levels. It features a waterfall, elevated koi-pond (could be converted to a hot tub), and fire circle in addition to planter boxes. This floor also has a third bedroom or game room with half bath. But that’s not all. Multiple skylights and large corner windows, wood beams and varying rooflines add to the visual interest and play of light. A two-car garage on the lower grade of the hill has an under-roof, concrete driveway wide enough to hold four additional cars. And if the 4,258 sq. ft. of living space isn’t enough, there’s another 1,000 sq. ft. of completely enclosed space in the basement waiting to be developed. Don’t miss an opportunity to see this one-of-a-kind home—built for entertaining, relaxing, and privacy at every level and priced right for today’s market.
