About This Home
As of March 2023This sunny and charming bungalow will delight you with many vintage Craftsman-style details, plus many modern conveniences. After entering through the foyer and passing through an arched doorway, your eyes are drawn to the focal point of the light-filled, large living room – the uniquely-tiled fireplace surrounded by original, vintage built-ins. Looking ahead to the similarly large and bright dining room, you'll find another set of beautiful built-ins. Both rooms feature coffered ceilings and decorative border trim on the original hardwood floors. The remodeled, spacious kitchen has a modern-retro look, plenty of storage and cabinet space, and adjoins a breakfast room/office space and the laundry room each with beautiful French-style doors. This sweet home has two light-filled bedrooms – one with a slider to the backyard – and one full bathroom. The cozy and sweet landscaped backyard features a patio and space to garden. Upgrades include copper hot water pipes, upgraded electrical, and an EV car charger. Close to Richmond's Civic Center and Art Center, Friday Farmers' Market, public transportation, I-80 and I-580.
