CALLING ALL MID-CENTURY MODERN AFICIONADOS!
Get ready to fall in love with this one-of-a-kind ICONIC 1953 3 bedroom 2 bath MID-CENTURY MODERN home that exudes timeless beauty and embodies true CALI - LIFE.
An extraordinary opportunity for any ‘’LIKELER’’ enthusiasts.
An EICHLER inspired home that was either inspired by, if not copied from Eichler homes and other Mid-Century Modern architects, builders and designers. Every detail has been meticulously curated from the gorgeous design elements to the harmonious flow of spaces with an open-concept reminiscent of this era. With clean minimalist, aesthetic, clean lines with the emphasis of bringing nature indoors with the use of spectacular FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOWS that provide continuity throughout the main living spaces.
While preserving the original bones of this home was key so was redefining and updating every inch of the property to modern standards. Imagine a home that lines up to all of your dreams, that uniquely captures true Mid-Century Modern, with an eye for details and sophistication. To make this a reality the designer and builder duo had a discerning eye for aesthetics and returned this fabulous home back to it’s original glory.
With the use of natural materials like ribbon cut mahogany paneling in the living room, red oak floors, designer custom stone floor-to- ceiling fireplace anchored by mahogany built-ins and walls of glass that all add textural visual interest and contrasts nicely. The open living spaces have a focus on functionality with no walls to block off the stunning kitchen from the living, dining, media room and the magical backyard, allowing the flow of conversation and entertaining natural and constant.
Staying true to the designs of an Eichler-style home the front facing, curb side of the home has very few windows besides the design of smaller windows. Showcased with an incredible stylish curb appeal with a mid-century color palette that resonates with something that you would see in DWELL magazine. All while maintaining an optimal sense of privacy and staying true to this architectural style.
Once you step inside thru its own charming front courtyard and custom built front door you will be in awe. Here you will see the quintessential elements of this period. Suffused with natural light, every room flowing into each other and floor-to-ceiling windows that connects you to a seamless transition to the outdoors.
This hidden gem offers you a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The kitchen is a culinary masterpiece with custom cabinetry, mosaic accent tiles, quartz counters and top of the line appliances. For all of your Chef’s needs you will love the very high grade Italian Bertazzoni gas stove/ oven along with an electric oven ideal for all your baking needs.
In the kitchen everything you see if meant to be seen. Storage is abundant with built-in wine racks, an extra smaller temperature control fridge, pull out cabinets ,spice racks, pantry and more. For all of you Coffee lovers having your own dedicated barista bar is a big plus! Having the quartz custom island in the middle will encourage causal conversation but when entertaining get’s serious the open dining/living room and the easy access to the NEWLY BUILT MEDIA ROOM off the kitchen along with the easy access to your Zen-like Garden will make you the star of the evening. The new sun-room off the kitchen is like a jewel box with floor to ceiling windows, cathedral ceilings, lime stone tile wall, white oak floors, wood-wrapped windows and design elements that stay with the same cohesive flow with the other spaces. FRENCH DOORS off this room enhances the flow to the very private and serene back yard. With the addition of a barn-like sliding door this room can be closed off serving as a 3RD BEDROOM.
The magical back yard garden with it’s lush and vibrant landscaping welcomes you with every step. Representing an oasis of tranquility with soothing water features, several shady sitting areas, beautiful overflowing trees, TREX deck and an original MOD Outdoor Fireplace, fitting for this era. The rebuilt GARAGE off the backyard offers potential for a ADU conversion, art studio, home office or use your own imagination. The new custom garage door exudes the same contemporary sophistication that flows throughout this stylish renovated home.
The gorgeous updated hall bath has a mix of onyx stone designer tile, porcelain sink, walk-in shower with a sitting area and 2 luxurious massage shower heads. The hip starburst light fixture pays homage to the period mood with the rest of the home’s style. An overhead built in heater will keep you cozy on those chilly days.
The first bedroom adjacent to the hall bath is a wonderful retreat with a private courtyard. Adorned with wainscoting and stylish built-ins this will truly please your guests with its seclusion and style. Again perfectly balancing the indoor/outdoor living.
The primary bedroom suite showcases all there is to love about Mid-Century design with a seamless blend of timeless design and contemporary renovations. The newer primary bathroom transports you to a realm of luxury akin to a boutique hotel with its Palm Springs envato designer tile, custom bamboo cabinets, counter mounted sinks and a luxurious large walk-in shower/ soaking tub designed with the same sleek color pallet. Stylish windows built in the same style as an Eichler- like home would have. Letting the light in but also giving you the privacy that one would seek.
‘’ We make memories where we gather’’ and this home will surely make you never want to leave. If you are ready to NEST, then look no further!
Nestled in the San Pablo Villa development in the wonderful Richmond NE neighborhood. A small enclave of homes with a neighborly feel and dead end streets adding to the privacy and more quiet environment. This fantastic home sits on a corner lot surrounded by mature trees and exquisite modern fencing camouflaging you and only adding to your overall privacy.
This little neighborhood is a hidden gem and worth exploring. With close access to freeways, BART, bus routes and a Walk Score of 81. Home to several ethnic restaurants and shops and a vibrant arts and culture scene. The historic Rockefeller Lodge is nearby along with the new W. County Health Center.
The newly built San Pablo Public Library is a short jaunt away.
Lots of education options with close proximity to Salesian College Preparatory, Richmond High School and W. County Contra Costa College.
I promise you when I say this special home is probably one of the coolest and nicest homes I have seen in the last 20 years.
We are so excited and proud to be representing a true rendition of this classic ‘’LIKELER’’ style, MID-CENTURY MODERN home.
Not to be missed! Please reach out for a private showing.
about this
Neighborhood
RICHMOND NE
∎
Once a center of industry and shipbuilding during World War II, the city of Richmond is focused on revitalization efforts that include a green revolution, with a solar-powered waste treatment plant; industrial printers; metal scrap recyclers; and manufacturers participating in green business initiatives. The city plans to add green jobs, create a cleaner community, and build a thriving tax base that can support better public services.
Richmond homes vary in style, including traditional, Cape Cod, contemporary, and French Country.
Local residents can participate in a composting program that collects food scraps in specially marked street-side containers and offers gardeners free compost for their backyard gardens. Richmond also recycles its old buildings, too; the historic Ford assembly plant near the port of Richmond was converted into the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historic Park, operated by the National Park Service.
Downtown is also experiencing revitalization, especially along Macdonald Avenue, the main commercial district that runs from 8th to 16th streets. The Richmond Main Street Initiative brings arts, music, dance, and theater to the area, transforming it into a pedestrian-friendly urban village.
Progressive politics are a part of life in Richmond. The city is the largest in the U.S. to have a Green Party mayor in Gayle McLaughlin.
