163 Rishell is not just a house, it is an experience… almost as if you are floating on top of the city with a front-row seat to see the most magical panoramic views of Oakland, Emeryville, Alameda, San Francisco, Marin, and beyond. Early mornings offer breathtaking sunlight and evening sunsets can turn shades of orange, pink, and lavender above the sparkle, glimmer, and movement of the world below. Feel grounded with the sunny streets with sidewalks, the level-out backyard with garden, fruit trees, and turf, and being a few blocks away from the redwood trees and some of the best nature trails in the Bay Area. Ken and Emily adored their home and created a dreamy backyard, sparing no expense, spending over $180,000 on the backyard landscaping, and Ipe deck with tempered glass and redwood railing. They added a new furnace and air conditioning (2022), replaced galvanized pipes with copper, updated the lighting, and bathroom floors, and made other thoughtful improvements. This all-level house has a tucked-away additional utility space that was used by Ken and Emily as an office and Peloton studio*, there is extra space for storage and a 2-car garage. 

This prime Mid-century property is on an 11,408-square-foot lot extending from Rishell down to Kimberlin Heights Drive and is an oh-so-sweet place to come home to.
