The North and East neighborhood of Richmond is one of my favorite neighborhoods. The topography is not too hilly, allowing for easy walkability and bicycle riding, wonderful shops, cafes, taquerias, restaurants and markets abound, and public transport and regional parks are close by. These amenities are highlights of 727 40th, but there is also so much more. This special home, full of sun all day long, provides a perfect balance of openness, separation, original character and modern updates. Robust Craftsman-style columns welcome you onto the front porch, with views of the hills and the neighborhood. The living room, with its hardwood floors and handsome tiled fireplace, retains the original character of the home. The living room is open to the dining area, also offering hardwood floors. Both rooms are sunny and bright. The updated eat-in kitchen, with expansive quartz countertops and generous cabinet space, flows to a covered deck and the backyard. Two bedrooms, one an en suite, and an additional bath are nicely separated from the public rooms. A backyard studio, once a garage, approximately 402 sq ft, per a digital floor plan, with a full bath and kitchenette provides the perfect space for guests, an art or yoga studio, or home office. Buyer to verify use of this space. Addi
