Privately sited, with a charming garden & wonderful indoor-outdoor flow, this sun-filled contemporary offers practicality, flexibility, and tranquility as well as convenience. Its large public rooms & split-level design, open floor plan, and finished lower level are a draw, as is its superb location, close to numerous amenities including the El Cerrito Grocery & Food Annex, Banter Wine Bar, my favorite hardware store, Pastime Hardware, El Cerrito Plaza, and El Cerrito BART. As you approach, you are welcomed by a front patio and a delightful yard with rose-draped fence, mature lemon tree, raised beds with lettuces and Rosemary, Nasturtium, Poppies, Lavender & other native plants, & an abundance of spring bulbs. The owner’s love of gardening & their passion for it are evident in this pretty, lush yard. Originally built in the 20s and expanded in the 90s, this home provides fabulous space & versatility. The main level offers an open living room & dining area with brand new gleaming hardwood floors, a wonderful eat-in kitchen with direct yard access, vaulted ceiling, new quartz countertop, Bertazzoni range top, and freshly painted cabinets, a study, and a full bath. Up a half flight are 3 bedrooms and a bath. The lower level, formerly a garage, is a bonus with its own entrance & terrific space.
