About This Home

As of July 2025

Located just blocks from schools, the El Sobrante Farmers Market and an easy drive to both Orinda and Pinole shopping, this sweet, turnkey home is move-in ready! Situated on a tranquil, picturesque street in Richmond's sought-after May Valley neighborhood, this single-level, ranch-style home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open kitchen/dining room, traditional living room, and an attached garage, all on an oversized level lot with citrus trees and mature landscaping. Details include dual-pane windows, a gas fireplace, engineered hardwood floors, attractively updated kitchen + bathrooms, and bright, natural light throughout. With large yards and a distinctly suburban feel, May Valley has many of the advantages of a suburban residential neighborhood but is still within easy commuting distance of Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco. Richmond/El Sobrante are hidden East Bay gems, with easy access to East Bay Regional Parks, I-80, Orinda + El Cerrito BART stations and the Richmond SF Ferry. This sweet Mid-Century home is ideal for first-time home buyers, a homeowner seeking to downsize, or those seeking to enter the highly competitive Bay Area/East Bay real estate markets. Discover Richmond's May Valley before the secret gets out! Must see!
