This historic home in East Richmond Heights was originally the water tower for a farm on 40 acres. It's now been lovingly transformed into a unique free-standing house with a large living room, large bedroom, and office. The location is ideal with a short walk to Wildcat Canyon and Alvarado park, and a 5-minute drive to the El Cerrito del Norte BART station. This neighborhood is filled with families and a sweet community feel. Enjoy the sunshine that dances around the home from the hardwood flooring throughout to the light filled upstairs bedroom. Due to the non-traditional layout of the space, this home is ideal for a couple or a single tenant.
946 Sonoma St is a house located in Contra Costa County and the 94805 ZIP Code. This area is served by the West Contra Costa Unified attendance zone.
