2542 Esmond Ave

Charming craftsman bungalow in the heart of Richmond’s North & East neighborhood, with a gorgeous backyard and bonus space galore! Originally a one-room farmhouse that’s been renovated and lovingly updated. Walk in to soak up vintage redwood trim details in an open floor plan, with a main living area that’s brimming with natural light from a trio of skylights. A distinct gas fireplace is the centerpiece of the living room, with a split closet separating a pair of bedrooms. Refurbished kitchen cabinets compliment all new stainless steel appliances. Off the kitchen, a pseudo mudroom features a stacking washer/dryer and access to the backyard oasis. Outside, you’ll find ample seating on an extended deck beneath a mature pear tree canopy, offering a peaceful space for entertaining or lounging. Two large planter boxes offer plenty of room for roots to grow. The entire property has been professionally landscaped, with easy-to-maintain flowers and native plants framed by a brick path and an edible garden of fruits and veggies. Picture hosting a backyard bbq with friends, dining on the brick patio at the rear of the property. From there, feast your eyes on a pair of standalone bonus spaces. The first is a finished 80 sq ft home office, with raised ceilings and a pair of skylights to work from home under or turn into a cozy creative space. And the second is a 240 sq ft unfinished garage, updated as a light-filled workspace with water and electricity, offering an amazing opportunity to turn into an ADU, or convert back into a parking space… let your imagination decide. This prime location is ten minutes from the ferry to San Francisco, walking distance to BART and convenient access to both major freeways. A friendly neighborhood offers parks, the nearby Richmond Arts Center, the East Bay Performing Arts Center and popular dining, coffee and bar establishments along San Pablo Avenue. Square footage is measured by the photographer and includes the separate/detached office space.
