About This Home

As of February 2020

Tucked away on a sleepy cul-de-sac and perched above the hills of El Cerrito on El Cerrito’s most exclusive neighborhood & street with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island & more. A tri-level stunner nestled organically into the hillside’s natural typography, this spacious family home spans three generous bedrooms, two & a half bathrooms, a bonus office or den, and a voluminous bottom level with endless entertainment options (with comfortable and luxurious in-law unit potential).
