Relax and enjoy this beautiful Historic Point Richmond property with the whole family. If you are seeking beaches, redwood groves, wine country, or the history, art, and culture of San Francisco, Oakland, or Berkeley, everything is easily accessible, including a high-speed boat straight to the Ferry Building in downtown SF. When you return, enjoy sensational views of the SF skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island, the Bay, the Richmond Bridge, and Mt. Tamalpais from the balcony.

The space:
Step into a beautifully updated, sun-drenched coastal retreat designed for ultimate relaxation and productivity. We've completely transformed our historic home with new insulation, windows, siding, and fresh paint, creating a peaceful, well-insulated haven with a constant breeze.
When you stay with us, the entire spacious top floor of this split-level home is yours alone.

Home Highlights:

• Gourmet Kitchen & Dining: A large, fully equipped space that opens directly onto a private viewing balcony—the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee against a panoramic backdrop of the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz, and the three iconic bridges.
• The Living Spaces: Featuring French Oak hardwood floors throughout and a finely tuned stand-up piano for the musically inclined.
• Workspace: A dedicated remote-work area featuring a premium motorized stand-up desk and dual monitors.
• Gym Corner: Keep up with your fitness routine using a premium Hydrow rowing machine, yoga mats, foam rollers, and a selection of dumbbells.
• Bathrooms: Two beautifully updated bathrooms, including a brand-new, modern European-style wet-room shower.

Layout & Privacy Details:

For full transparency, our home is split-level, and a quiet, wonderful long-term resident lives in the entirely separate ground-floor unit downstairs.
• Your Privacy is Guaranteed: Guests enjoy 100% exclusive access to the entire upstairs living area. The only shared space is the laundry room at the bottom of the interior stairs.
• Secure "Jack & Jill" Design: The laundry room features locks on both doors that lock securely from the inside.
• Community Rhythm: To maintain the peaceful vibe of the neighborhood, we observe quiet hours and laundry hours from 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM. Because of our hardwood floors, we ask that guests walk mindfully at night—saving the heavy outdoor boots for the regional trails just steps from our door!

• Laundry Entrance: For your peace of mind, the door leading from the laundry room up into your space locks firmly from your side. No one can access your private living space when you close and lock this door behind you.
