A Rare Find in Richmond View
Welcome to 5861 Bernhard Avenue, a rare offering in the sought after Richmond View neighborhood, where sweeping vistas of the Bay, San Francisco, Marin County, and nearby Wildcat Canyon Regional Park create a breathtaking backdrop for everyday living. Thoughtfully remodeled with an artistic point of view, this light filled residence offers seamless indoor outdoor living with a true sense of privacy and retreat.
The open concept main level blends architectural character with modern comfort. Elegant crown molding, substantial baseboards, built in ceiling speakers, and a fireplace with custom mantle and hearth anchors the living and dining areas, and is beautifully defined by an elegant arch. The kitchen is appointed with Corian counters and sink, stainless steel appliances including a six burner Café range and Bosch dishwasher, custom tile, and a generous island that serves as a natural gathering place.
A stunning sunroom wrapped in natural light creates a seamless transition to expansive decks, artisan created flagstone patios, and vibrant gardens. The indoor outdoor flow is seamless and refined.
Three spacious, sun filled bedrooms include a serene en suite. Both full bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with custom tile and refined fixtures. The lower level family room, with both interior and exterior access, offers exceptional flexibility as a home theater, private office, or guest quarters.
Tucked away at the back of the property is a detached studio with skylights, lighting, insulated finished walls, and an open beam ceiling that provides an inspiring setting for art, music, or a sophisticated home office. On the East side of the studio, a dedicated cut flower garden adds charm and seasonal color. A separate workshop, additional storage, owned solar, newer roof, and a fenced yard also add meaningful function to the property.
Just blocks from Alvarado Park and Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, with miles of hiking and biking trails, and close to BART, bus lines, schools, shops, and restaurants, the location offers both natural beauty and everyday convenience. Also, at the end of Bernhard Avenue is the Gyuto Foundation, a beautiful Tibetan Buddhist Monastery with community meditations, classes, and events, offering a unique cultural presence in the neighborhood.
Rarely does a home combine architectural elegance, versatility, captivating views, and an exceptional setting with such ease. Creative, peaceful, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings, this is a property designed for inspired living.

Neighborhood
Once a center of industry and shipbuilding during World War II, the city of Richmond is focused on revitalization efforts that include a green revolution, with a solar-powered waste treatment plant; industrial printers; metal scrap recyclers; and manufacturers participating in green business initiatives. The city plans to add green jobs, create a cleaner community, and build a thriving tax base that can support better public services.
Richmond homes vary in style, including traditional, Cape Cod, contemporary, and French Country.
Local residents can participate in a composting program that collects food scraps in specially marked street-side containers and offers gardeners free compost for their backyard gardens. Richmond also recycles its old buildings, too; the historic Ford assembly plant near the port of Richmond was converted into the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historic Park, operated by the National Park Service.
Downtown is also experiencing revitalization, especially along Macdonald Avenue, the main commercial district that runs from 8th to 16th streets. The Richmond Main Street Initiative brings arts, music, dance, and theater to the area, transforming it into a pedestrian-friendly urban village.
Progressive politics are a part of life in Richmond. The city is the largest in the U.S. to have a Green Party mayor in Gayle McLaughlin.
