Sited on a 7,000 sq ft lot, this one of a kind home boasts an urban farm and panoramic city and bay views!
Welcome to this serene retreat located at 6280 Taft Ave in the Richmond Hills.
Step inside and you are immediately greeted with an open and light-filled layout with expansive views of the Bay, Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, San Francisco, and Mt Tamalpais. Perfect for entertaining the kitchen, living and dining areas seamlessly flow as one beautiful space. A spacious patio extends the living and dining rooms outdoors, making it a fabulous spot for gatherings and celebrations. Meanwhile, a side patio off of the kitchen is ideal for outdoor dining and gathering. The bedroom on this level also features jaw dropping views; imagine enjoying the sunrise with your morning coffee. Sweetly updated, the bathroom includes a shower over tub combination with fun tile work, newly added light fixture and hardware and plenty of storage options. The second bedroom is spacious and boasts fresh carpet and radiant heat. Do not miss the stackable Miele washer and dryer neatly tucked away behind a central closet making laundry days a breeze. Downstairs, a separate bright one-bedroom, one-bath suite offers a lot of flexibility—ideal for guests or work from home. French doors open graciously onto a darling patio surrounded by citrus trees and easy access to the yard.
The yard, you ask? This is a true urban farm! Planter beds are overflowing with dill, chard, onion, bok choy, cilantro, strawberry, arugula, kale - just to name a few. Meander through the yard and encounter six mature fig trees along with orange, lemon, pair, apple, pomegranate, olive, and apricot trees. Grapevines, angel’s trumpets, bougainvillea, jasmine, roses, marigolds and poppies are present. When preparing your favorite meals, sage, oregano, mint, rosemary, fennel are at your fingertips. A chicken coop is conveniently positioned in the lower corner of the yard. Do not miss the versatile detached structure which allows for a workshop/studio and can afford additional storage. There’s a wide 2-car driveway for ample off-street parking with an electric car-charger in place. This home has been updated with modern touches, including owned solar panels, double-pane windows, radiant heat for energy efficiency and comfort, a 330 gallon rain catchment system, a grey water system servicing the backyard, and is sewer compliant!
Beyond the home, the neighborhood is lovely. The Gyoto Foundation, a Tibetan Buddhism Monastery, is just two blocks away with beautiful gardens and offers meditations and events, open to the public. Easy access to Wildcat Canyon trails - just minutes away! Factory Bar is a fun time for a date night - enjoy tasty drinks and various live events. Favorite eateries include El Tucan and Mi Casa Grill. Arlington Market is less than half a mile away and a neighborhood gem complete with fresh produce and organic products. William's Natural Food and Catahoula Coffee are popular spots on San Pablo Ave. Close by Mira Vista Field is an 8 acre field; it adjoins Mira Vista Elementary and is dog friendly! Take advantage of picturesque waterfront trails along the Richmond Marina and lunch at Assemble. Zoned for Mira Vista Elementary, Korematsu Middle School, and El Cerrito High, (buyer to confirm with school district). This lovely home is conveniently located near local amenities as well as transit and freeway commute options to access Berkeley, SF, Marin, and the wider Bay Area. What more could you ask for?

about this
Neighborhood
∎
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.
