Upstairs attic space for kids' playroom or additional storage. Laundry (new and highly water efficient), bike and garden/tool/hobby storage is in the basement. Generous flat backyard with an old oak tree and swing. Garage ideal for parking, workshop or additional storage. 

East Richmond Heights is a safe, peaceful, hidden gem of a neighborhood in the East Bay hills, just one block from Wildcat Canyon, and two blocks from the El Cerrito border. Many of the neighbors have been here for over ten years.

The home is conveniently located three minutes to the I-80 entrance, six minutes to El Cerrito del Norte Bart, ten minutes to Kensington, fifteen to multiple parts of Berkeley (depending on whether you take the highway or the Arlington), twenty-five to San Rafael, and thirty-five to Walnut Creek.
