About this single-family home

Welcome to your own private paradise nestled in the cool and quirky East Richmond Heights. This unique home offers a rare blend of natural beauty and modern living, with remodeled kitchen and bathrooms mixed with the vacation vibes of rustic tiles and natural wood beams. In addition to the main house, there is a one-bedroom unit downstairs with a private entrance. (2,162 square feet combined living space) The real prize of this property, however, is the outdoor space. Thoughtfully designed for many uses, you'll find a lush tropical entrance and cozy porch, a backyard patio perfect for entertaining, a sunny side yard brimming with garden beds, play structures for imaginations to run wild, and a deck for dining al fresco above it all. Nearby, you'll find hiking trails and picnicking at Wildcat Canyon and Alvarado Park. Beloved businesses are each .5 mi down the hillside. This one must be seen in person. It's not every day you find such an unassuming yet magical home.
