Welcome to 551 Richmond Street, a Craftsman bungalow that delivers the character you've been dreaming about in a location you'll never want to leave.

With El Cerrito Plaza BART, quick freeway access, easy access to Hillside Natural Area and Wildcat Canyon and direct access to the Ohlone Greenway, plus San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland are effortlessly within reach. Step inside and let the light do the talking. Sunshine streams through an abundance of windows, dancing across gleaming hardwood floors, designer paint colors, and gorgeous original wood trim from the Craftsman era. The living room, showstopper dining room, and fun, updated kitchen flow seamlessly toward the back garden, creating an easy, light-filled rhythm that makes indoor-outdoor living second nature, whether you're hosting a holiday feast or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. Three bedrooms offer one flexibility and space. The third bedroom opens directly to the garden, making it the perfect office, guest retreat, or hangout hideaway.
