Welcome to 5728 Yale Ave, a bright and beautifully updated 3BD / 1BA sanctuary in one of Richmond's most peaceful neighborhoods. Step through the front door into a sun-drenched great room featuring arched doorways, rich walnut-toned hardwood floors, and a gorgeous corner window overlooking the front yard. The modern kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with stainless steel appliances, a window box, an eating bar, and elegant Italian tile. A central dining area flows seamlessly into a bonus flex space-perfect for a home office or gym-while the converted garage provides fantastic extra storage. Retreat to the generous primary bedroom, which opens directly onto a shaded back deck overlooking a truly majestic yard. Two additional cozy bedrooms offer respite and ample closet space. Outside, the property is an entertainer's paradise: lounge under a mature birch tree, dine al fresco, or relax on the upper patio, which is ready for your dream hot tub. Since 2009, this incredible garden has been lovingly cultivated into a thriving habitat of heirloom roses, California natives, and drought-tolerant Mediterranean species that attract local birds and butterflies. Beyond the garden gate is a detached studio ideal for artists or remote work. This exceptionally quiet street captures a warm, 1950s-style community vibe where neighbors know one another, families flourish, and walkers pass by daily. You're just two blocks from the sprawling Mira Vista Field, moments from Wildcat Canyon hiking trails, and a quick trip down the hill to San Pablo Avenue favorites like The Factory Bar, Catahoula Coffee, and Tacos El Tucan.
