About This Home

Set in a coveted locale known for sweeping views, this impeccably updated home is framed by scenic vistas from city skyline to Golden Gate Bridge. Stripped to the studs and spectacularly reimagined, the single-level stunner has been transformed with white oak flooring, Marvin windows, and LED lighting. Decked in Thermador appliances, a quartz-clad kitchen bleeds into sunlit living room with panoramic views. Nearby, a bright dining area spills into a sunny patio, perfect for morning coffee. Equipped with 2 gracious primary suites and a pair of generous bedrooms, four lavish baths have been appointed with Porcelanosa tile, toilets and fixtures. A site-driven home designed for the landscape, this hilltop hideaway features a low maintenance yard with terraced landscaping, turf and patio poised for BBQs. Replete with 2-car garage and ample storage, 844 Gelston is zoned for the highly rated Kensington Elementary and located within minutes to all El Cerrito has to offer. Sunday Open's 8/17 and 8/24 2-4:30pm.
