Property Description
228 First street! Rarely available residence in Benicia’s coveted Harbor Walk community offering stunning views of the Carquinez Strait and iconic bridge while delivering the charm and lifestyle buyers often seek in Sausalito and Marin County — without the premium price tag. Perfectly positioned in the heart of downtown Benicia, this 3 bedroom 2 bath stunner spans over 1,800 sqft! The main living area features soaring ceilings, an open-concept layout, and expansive windows that flood the home with natural light while showcasing picturesque sunsets over the water. A private balcony creates the perfect setting to enjoy morning coffee, evening wine, and cool waterfront breezes year-round. Extensively renovated in 2022, the home blends modern sophistication with relaxed coastal-inspired living. The beautifully updated kitchen features quartzite countertops, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, updated cabinetry, and newer appliances including a Bosch refrigerator. Bathrooms have been thoughtfully refreshed with updated tile flooring, modern fixtures, mirrors, lighting, and a primary shower with glass enclosure. Additional upgrades include luxury vinyl plank flooring, a new HVAC system (2025). The attached two-car garage and HOA-covered exterior maintenance provide convenience and easy living so you can fully enjoy everything this vibrant waterfront community has to offer. Outside your doorstep lies one of Northern California’s best-kept secrets. Experience Benicia’s thriving downtown filled with acclaimed restaurants, artisan bakeries, wine bars, boutique shopping, art galleries, waterfront parks, live music venues, car shows and year-round festivals. Stroll to beloved local destinations including Bella Siena, the historic Tannery Building, the Farmers Market, and the scenic marina waterfront that gives Benicia its unmistakable small-town coastal charm. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the culture, gastronomy, waterfront beauty, and relaxed sophistication reminiscent of Marin County living — while still benefiting from exceptional value, accessibility, and community.
