A STUNNING HOUSE IN AN IDEAL LOCATION This three-bedroomed, one and one-half bathroom beauty is located in one of Richmond's most desirable areas - Parkview. Not only is this area far from the headline-news-grabbing sections of Richmond, but has the highest rating for safety according to various sites. Check it out! See for yourself. As if that was not enough, it has El Cerrito schools' access. If you have children, you cannot beat this deal. Portola Junior and El Cerrito Senior High are waiting to take your little gods and goddesses. Rated 6 & 7, you get nearly to Palo Alto ratings for 25% of the rent!. The home is close to all freeways, but not so close you get noise. 80 north or south is just three minutes drive away, while 580 is even less. North, south, east or west, the world is at your feet. Why spend $8,500 in San Francisco, or $6,800 in Oakland to get shot in the cross-fire when you can have it all in Richmond at a discount, in safety, and peace? The house itself is undergoing a complete renovation. Our prior tenants of five years have left and it is time to renovate, improve, and delight the senses with new appliances, paint, and tile and to re-landscape the garden. The garden has a sprinkler system and low-voltage spotlights for plant emphasis, as well as a collection of mint, other herbs, plums, and the biggest lemons you can imagine. Boy, can you make gin & tonics to kill with those puppies................? Oh! I forgot the delicious cherry tree........................... On two storeys, the building has a lower level with garage and carport access, the kitchen, living room, half-bathroom and a most unusual storage room exiting to the side-garden. Upstairs are three lovely, light, rooms and a full bathroom. The garage has a remote-controlled door, as well as laundry facilities. The kitchen has granite counters, and just about all new appliances. A dining counter gives way to the large living room with a fireplace and charming garden views. Off the living room is a further room for storage and exits to the side-yard. Upstairs all windows are dual-paned and the bathroom completely upgraded. There is little left to improve! Only rebuilding could do more. The home has a wonderful flow to it. You come in and the half-bathroom is right where it should be - next to the front door. The short hallway leads to the kitchen and easy drops for the groceries and other food. Lots of storage is feet from the kitchen for bulk purchases not to mention superb garden access and fast getaways for children. Upstairs is just the same with the staircase adjacent to the front door and the bedrooms well-endowed with big windows to provide light and charm to your rooms. Half a block away is Booker Park, and across the freeway full entry to the shoreline recreation area. Shopping of all kinds is a half-mile away on San Pablo, and do not forget Catahoula, the coffee king of the East Bay. So what are you waiting for? Pick up the phone, empty the purse, call me (see below) and then move into a home and not a place you hide in. All renovations will be finished by October 15th, and we look forward to meeting you.
