About This Home

As of May 2023

Level-in and light-filled, this traditional home in prime El Cerrito Hills exudes warmth and charm the minute you step inside. With a highly-desired floor plan and generously sized rooms, this 3-bed, 1.5 bath home has space to expand and grow. Retaining much of its period charm and grandeur, the sunken living room with fireplace, bay window and peak views is spacious and bright. A formal dining room sits just off the bay-facing kitchen, breakfast nook and half-bath. Upstairs you will find three large bedrooms and spectacular pink-tiled bathroom with both tub and stall shower. Enjoy city and Mt. Tam views from almost every room. Heading down to the lower level of the home you will find a plus-space living room with tall ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, and access to a patio and terraced garden. Laundry, tons of storage and a 2-car garage top off this A+ home. Outside, the large backyard offers plenty of space for gardening and entertaining. Whether you're hosting a barbecue or simply enjoying a quiet evening it is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful California weather and sunsets.
