Welcome to 5406 Sobrante Avenue — where the best of urban convenience and rural tranquility come together. This immaculate, move-in-ready single-family home sits on a spacious half-acre lot in one of El Sobrante’s most desirable neighborhoods, close to top-rated schools, shopping, restaurants, parks, hiking trails, and public transportation — yet surrounded by the peaceful charm of open space and nature.
Step inside to find beautifully refinished hardwood floors, crown molding, recessed lighting, and Simonton double-pane windows that fill every room with natural light. The remodeled bathrooms feature tasteful updates, and the bright, functional kitchen shines with two skylights, a gas range, a sleek new microwave hood fan, a dishwasher, a walk-in pantry, and convenient pull-out cabinet trays — the perfect blend of charm and practicality. Central heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort.
The home’s thoughtful layout offers near level-in access to the main living area (one small step to entry), with three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, an elegant upstairs fireplace, and a cozy lower-level fireplace insert. The spacious lower-level family room is ideal for entertaining or relaxing, complemented by a media area, indoor laundry room, large workshop, and direct outdoor access. Two finished bonus rooms provide flexible space — perfect for a home office, art studio, or playroom. The two-car garage with interior access, EV car charger, and owned rooftop solar panels bring convenience, efficiency, and sustainability to everyday living.
The home is designed with a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces. There are two expansive decks, including one with a gas hookup for your BBQ — ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The huge, level backyard offers exceptional privacy and is surrounded by beautiful redwood and live oak trees, creating a serene, park-like setting. The spacious half-acre lot and long secondary driveway offer endless possibilities — keep it as-is for RV parking or a play area, or imagine future additions like an ADU, a garden office, a sprawling urban garden, or even a mini farm.
Additional highlights include a well-water irrigation system, terraced garden area, fenced dog run, and a basement workspace with separate entry — ideal for hobbies or projects. Within walking distance to the El Sobrante Farmers Market, Valley View Elementary, and numerous local restaurants, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, versatility, and location. With its private outdoor spaces, energy-efficient upgrades, and move-in-ready condition, this exceptional home is ready for a new owner to enjoy.

Neighborhood
Nestled in the rolling hills of West Contra Costa County, El Sobrante blends small-town charm with the natural beauty of the East Bay. Originally part of a vast Spanish land grant, the area remained largely rural through the early 20th century, known for its ranches, orchards, and open space. Over time, it evolved into a peaceful residential community while preserving much of its natural landscape.
Today, El Sobrante offers a relaxed suburban feel with a mix of mid-century homes, quiet cul-de-sacs, and scenic hillside properties. While primarily residential, the area also features more rural homes and small ranches, creating a unique blend of suburban comfort and country character. The community is known for its friendly atmosphere, diverse population, and easy access to nearby cities like Berkeley, El Cerrito, Orinda, and Richmond.
Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to its abundance of green space, including the expansive Wildcat Canyon Regional Park and Kennedy Grove, both ideal for hiking, biking, and picnicking. San Pablo Reservoir provides fishing and boating opportunities just minutes away. On Sundays, residents gather at the El Sobrante Farmers Market, a local favorite offering fresh produce, artisan goods, and live music that capture the area’s welcoming, community spirit. Along Appian Way and San Pablo Dam Road, you’ll find local cafés, family-owned restaurants, and convenient shops that reflect the area’s down-to-earth character.
With its tranquil setting, natural beauty, and central location, El Sobrante is a hidden gem offering the best of East Bay living—close to everything, yet quietly tucked away from the bustle.
