Property Description
Architectural character, magical setting, SF Bay and Golden Gate bridge views, A+ floorplan... This generously proportioned home radiates mid-century sensibility, beautifully expressed through its proportion, warmth, and individuality. Set on a tranquil street in the El Cerrito hills, it's a home organized around creature comforts, privacy and the rituals of gathering. Rare, coveted floorplan delivers 5 generous bedrooms and an expansive family room with sliders to rear deck and yard. Custom kitchen has a commercial grade stovetop and artisan cabinetry. Spacious living and dining spaces are designed to take full advantage of the shimmering views. This is a home where friends and neighbors will convene — a particularly adaptable center of gravity that shifts seamlessly from everyday retreat to lively social setting. Rather than prescribing a single lifestyle, it presents a sequence of interior and exterior spaces with enough dimension and distinction to support an array of activities and family configurations. Upper and lower decks create effortless indoor-outdoor flow and highlight the broad Bay views. Flat backyard provides space for play, gardening and entertaining. The gentle hills of El Cerrito are wrapped in Northern California beauty. The balance of residential calm and easy access to the broader Bay Area, combined with numerous nearby parks and endless hiking trails, contribute to a neighborhood scale that rewards both wandering and return. Minutes from home, a cornucopia of urban amenities includes world-class golf and restaurants, two BART stations, award-winning schools and performance venues, and 24/7 bird-watching. Highly rated Madera Elementary is nearby.
