Nestled in the East Bay Hills just 10 minutes from Berkeley, our spacious and lovingly cared-for four-bedroom family home offers a peaceful, safe retreat sanctuary with exceptional access to both nature and the greater Bay Area. Located on a private gated lot in East Richmond Heights, this unique home sits just steps from open space trails and parks, while remaining conveniently close to UC Berkeley, BART, Marin, and San Francisco. The home features beautiful handcrafted wood details, abundant natural light, and sweeping sunset views of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, and Wildcat Canyon hills. The spacious primary suite includes sunrise and sunset views, a soaking tub, and dual sinks. A second scenic view bedroom includes a dedicated desk workspace with direct Golden Gate views, while two additional bedrooms each offer full-size beds. In addition, the lower level includes a separate dedicated, private study/office, and multiple workspaces throughout the home with inspiring Bay views make the space especially well suited for visiting scholars, writers, remote professionals, or sabbatical families. The downstairs living spaces include a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable family room with Roku TV, fireplace living room, and inviting indoor-outdoor flow to the patio, outdoor dining area, BBQ, hammock, ambient string lights and an oak tree swing. Musical instruments including an electric piano, guitar, and ukulele are also available for those who enjoy creative and artistic spaces. This is not a commercial investment property, but a true lived-in family home that we are grateful to share while our family is spending some time away. We hope to find respectful, responsible tenants who will enjoy and care for the space as a peaceful longer-term home base during their stay in the Bay Area.
