About This Home

As of November 2023

Mid-Century chic - view home!! It was 1963 when Bay Area architect George A. Swallow and builder W.J. Hubbard constructed this beauty. Swallow and Hubbard built several dramatic mid-century modern homes in the El Cerrito Hills. Exciting architectural details include vaulted ceilings with beamed redwood grooved plank ceilings, stacked floor-to-ceiling flagstone brick fireplace, and glass feature walls at the entry with original amber glass panels. Walls of large panel glass in living room look out to the gorgeous San Francisco, Mount Tam., the Golden Gate and beyond. Sliding door access a lovely view deck. The current owners have preserved much of the original aesthetic while undertaking upgrades to meet current lifestyle needs. (Newer roof (2016), Solar panels & 2 Tesla Power walls and upgraded electrical) This home is level into three bedrooms and two baths, the lower level has both interior and exterior separate access. Versatile in design the lower level features a separate two-bedroom flat with a full kitchen and spacious living area. The rear garden is simple and clean and ready for the inspired gardener as the sunny exposure is ideal for California Bay Area living. Just blocks to public transportation, parks, and shopping. Loc. in the awarded Kensington Hilltop Sch. zone
