Stylishly remodeled with a large family room addition and flexible floorplan, 4401 Fieldcrest Drive is a spacious 3BD/2BA Mid-Century Modern at the foot of a hill in the May Valley neighborhood of El Sobrante/Richmond. Boasting hardwood floors and updated kitchen and baths, the home also features an expansive backyard ideal for outdoor entertaining and an attached 2-car garage. Conveniently located with commuter access to SF and all parts of the East Bay, and moments from regional parks.
Unique to the neighborhood, the spacious, light-filled living room is a bonus space added during a recent remodel. Open and bright, the room features a vaulted ceiling, beautiful exposed beams, and sliding glass doors opening onto the huge backyard.
Multi-paned glass doors lead to the adjacent kitchen/dining area, remodeled with gleaming wood floors and cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Warm recessed lighting and a corner window over the sink brighten the room, and a side door leads to the attached 2-car garage.
On the other side of the kitchen is a family room with a brick fireplace and oversized windows facing the backyard. Taking advantage of the flexible floorplan, this room could also be used as a separate dining room, or as a formal living room.
On the other side of the home are the 3 bedrooms. In the owner’s suite, windows face the street and a large walk-in closet provides ample storage. The adjoining full bath includes a step-in tile shower and pedestal sink. The remaining two bedrooms overlook the backyard and share a full bath with tile shower over tub and stone-topped vanity.
The huge enclosed backyard abuts a hillside, where tall trees provide shade and complete privacy. An entertainer’s dream, the yard is large enough to hold alfresco parties for extended family and friends, or even to invite the entire neighborhood for a summer barbecue! A decorative brick retaining wall surrounds the large patio and pergola, and a fragrant magnolia tree provides shade.
May Valley is a diverse, friendly neighborhood of quiet streets with mature landscaping and a feeling of community. With views of Wildcat Canyon and Mt. Tamalpais, the neighborhood is near Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, hiking/biking trails in Briones Regional Park, and moments from both the Orinda and Pinole Farmer’s Markets.
