198 Greenwich Drive

Welcome to one of Pleasant Hill’s most uniquely reimagined properties — where a private courtyard, architectural soul, and a head-to-toe renovation deliver something the market rarely offers: a unique and versatile residence with multiple solutions for everyday needs on a sprawling 9,600 sq ft lot.

Tucked in the desirable Hillsdale neighborhood, bordering the coveted Poet’s Corner and Gregory Gardens the property announces itself with immediate distinction. The dramatic archway draws you off the street and into a generous wraparound concrete courtyard — a private outdoor sanctuary that serves both wings of the home and sets the tone before you ever step inside. The home’s warm sage-toned stucco exterior wraps around you, and oversized black-framed sliding glass doors line the courtyard perimeter, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out from every room on the property. The grounds are professionally designed and landscaped with irrigation, black and white pea gravel, and natural bark, woven through with jasmine, olives, various pittosporum varieties, crepe myrtles, crimson dot roses, westringia, dianellas, purple princess flowers, gaura plants better known as whirling butterflies and smokebush — a layered, fragrant landscape that shifts beautifully with every season. The expansive driveway is large enough for multiple vehicles, and an RV/Boat. Suitable for all your needs and desires. 

Where Home & Opportunity Awaits

Step inside the foyer to both wings of the home and the quality of this renovation announces itself immediately. Wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring stretches from the entry through every single room, paired with crisp white walls, bright trim, and bold black-accented interior doors that give the home its signature contemporary edge. Velux skylights are distributed throughout — including a dramatic skylight overflowing the living room with natural light in a way that makes the space feel genuinely alive at every hour — while all-new recessed lighting ensures the home is equally warm and welcoming long after the sun goes down. A built-in pass-through window connects spaces with warmth and intention, keeping the flow between rooms open and social without sacrificing definition.

The great room is adorned with natural light by a giant skylight and genuinely expansive, adorned with light from black-framed picture windows on multiple walls, with space generous enough to hold multiple living and dining areas comfortably while still feeling warm and connected. A stunning 8’ by 5’ wide horizontal picture window frames the gorgeous private backyard view, a sliding glass door leads directly onto the wood deck, and an updated glass door anchors the space with architectural style providing additional outdoor access — the indoor-outdoor connection here is effortless and constant. The kitchen sits adjacent and delivers on every expectation: white shaker cabinetry reaching the ceiling with sleek black hardware, all-new appliances including a stainless steel gas range beneath a dedicated Zephyr exhaust hood and a French door refrigerator, and a contemporary coiled Moen matte black faucet rising from a deep single-basin undermount sink. Vadara Gossamer Sands quartz slab countertops run the full length of the space, and Anthology Regal Regency White Herringbone Dolomite natural stone serves as the backsplash — materials chosen with a discerning eye and built to age beautifully. A louvered double-door pantry adds generous dry storage just steps from the prep area, and a dedicated laundry room rounds out the everyday practicality of this wing without sacrificing an inch of style.

Mindful Layout & Design

Three well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the rear wing of the home — one featuring direct access to the backyard retreat — all flowing from a clean, well-lit hallway corridor and finished with the same warm flooring, crisp white walls, and black-framed windows that bring the surrounding greenery right into the room. All three bathrooms are finished in Richetti Italian ceramic tile, each appointed with floating white vanities featuring striking monolithic black stainless steel countertops with seamlessly molded-in basins, matte black Moen fixtures, black-framed mirrors, directionally adjustable vanity lights, sleek black towel bars, Kohler tubs and skylit glass-enclosed showers — every surface and fixture considered and consistent from room to room.

The wood decks off the private bedroom and main living areas are enclosed by lush, professionally landscaped grounds woven with jasmine, olives, crepe myrtles, crimson dot roses, smokebush, ferns and purple princess flowers, all set against black and white pea gravel and natural bark with a full irrigation system — the kind of outdoor space that makes you feel like you could live here forever.

On the left side of the shared courtyard, the connected wing of the home offers a completely independent and equally refined living experience — thoughtfully designed for extended family, multi-generational living, or as a rental income opportunity that could offset your mortgage. With its own full kitchen, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and direct courtyard access, it lives with all the ease and intention of a standalone home.

Impressive Details & Finishes 

The secondary kitchen mirrors the main house with the same Vadara Gossamer Sands quartz slab countertops, white shaker cabinetry floor to ceiling, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, dedicated Zephyr high CFM exhaust range hood, and a deep single-basin sink with a Moen matte black coil faucet. Two 5x4 windows and a trio of skylights pour natural light generously into the space, and a graceful arched interior doorway — a charming architectural moment unique to this wing — connects the kitchen to the living area. Hidden behind louvered folding doors are laundry hookups and generous storage, and a sliding glass door opens directly to the shared courtyard, keeping the indoor-outdoor connection as alive and effortless here as it is across the property.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully finished with closets, recessed lighting, and black-framed windows — one featuring a distinctive tall vertical slit window that brings in light with a sculptural quality unique to this space. The bathroom carries the same Richetti Italian ceramic tile, black-framed glass enclosure, and a floating vanity with a striking monolithic black stainless steel countertop with a seamlessly molded-in basin — a sleek, continuous surface as easy to maintain as it is beautiful to live with — completed by matte black fixtures that tie it all together seamlessly.

Beneath the beauty of this renovation lies a property rebuilt from the inside out. Updated roof with 50 year Owens Corning Warranty, three solar attic fans, two independent HVAC systems each controlled by Nest thermostats, two new water heaters, new insulation and ducting throughout all attics, updated electrical panels, additional drainage, a new retaining wall, and a new vapor barrier in the crawl space — every system and detail addressed, so the only thing left to do is move in and make it yours.

The Hillsdale Lifestyle

Set on a generous 9,600 sq ft lot just one block from Rodgers-Smith Park and its beloved bocce courts, and less than five minutes from downtown Pleasant Hill — where the weekly Off the Grid Food Truck Market, seasonal Farmers Market, local breweries, acclaimed restaurants, and the Century movie theater make every week feel full — this property places you exactly where you want to be. The newest addition in late 2026 is the Osaka Japanese Marketplace in Downtown with over 42,000 sq ft of grocery shopping and several mini restaurants to enjoy. With Briones Regional Park’s open trails nearby and easy access to Highway 24 and 680 and BART, the lifestyle here is as good as the home itself. Whether you’re seeking a multi-generational living solution, a savvy investment with built-in rental income, or simply a one-of-a-kind home with the space and flexibility to grow with your life — this property delivers it all, fully renovated, impeccably finished, and ready for its next chapter.
