Palm Springs Vibes Meet East Bay Cool. Step into mid-century magic with this beautifully updated 1953 bungalow in Richmond's highly sought-after North & East neighborhood. Capturing the iconic radiance of 1950s modernist design, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home pairs timeless architectural charm with effortless modern living. Inside, warmth and light take center stage. Original, freshly refinished hardwood floors flow through an airy, open layout where kitchen, dining, and living spaces blend seamlessly--ideal for both breezy hosting and cozy nights in. The living room features a classic mid-mod brick fireplace framed by large windows that soak the space in natural sunlight. The updated chef's kitchen boasts sleek quartz countertops with breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances, vibrant light fixtures, and abundant cabinet storage. The serene primary suite offers a spacious retreat complete with a private ensuite bath and a generous closet. Two additional bedrooms provide versatile space for a home office, guest room, or creative studio. Out back, your private, low-maintenance haven awaits--complete with a custom patterned mural wall, perfect for sunny outdoor dining or relaxing with a morning coffee. Discover this unbeatable North & East Location: Steps from Burg Park, an easy distance from Michelle Obama Elementary School, and minutes from local favorites like Catahoula Coffee, Tacos El Tucan, The Factory Bar, and the Friday Farmers Market. Commuters will love the quick access to Richmond & Del Norte BART stations, the Richmond Ferry, I-80, and I-580.
