Charming Renovated Cottage with Big Views!
WELCOME to this utterly charming home that lives larger than its size. Set on a small sloping lot with great curb appeal. The front yard is beautifully landscaped with a very cool and trendy brick driveway adding to its overall appeal. Imagine relaxing on your sweet covered front porch watching the world go by and admiring the gorgeous views of the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tam, SF skyline and more.
Once inside you will be struck by the enchanting wood design elements, hardwood floors, natural light flooding in from the picturesque Marvin double pane wood- wrap windows, cozy fireplace and the open floor plan. The spacious front bedroom has a large closet and the same double-pane, wood- wrap windows that are throughout the rest of the home. Views are enjoyed from this room either out to the water views or the calming, zen-like backyard.
The quaint and vintage style bathroom has a custom tile shower/bath enclosure, built-in linen closet and charming features.
The wonderful spacious updated kitchen with adjoining dining area has French Doors leading you onto a large deck overlooking the magical backyard. Picture yourself cooking in your kitchen and gazing out the window taking in the awe of the expansive professionally landscaped yard. The Chef’s Kitchen has a perfect layout for culinary adventures and is adorned with wood cabinets, Corian counters, butcher block breakfast bar, top of the line appliances and the same warm wood tones.
Off the kitchen is a full-size laundry room with great storage and door leading you to your slate patio.
The terraced back yard is a dream for anyone who enjoys entertaining with multiple sitting areas, redwood deck, shady patio areas and fabulous views of the SF skyline, Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. The lot is oversized at 5,300 sq.ft. (per public record) making it a great spot to add a separate ADU, art studio or greenhouse. For all of you gardeners this is the place where you will spend quality time either planting a vegetable garden, tending to the mature plantings, picking the fruit or just lounging. Drip irrigation is provided in both back and front yards.
There is fo a full attic space with the potential to add more square footage and to take advantage of even more spectacular views!
For that extra space that you may be craving look no further than the downstairs finished garage that has been used in the past as either a bedroom, workshop, art studio, office or whatever your heart desires.
You can’t beat this location with close proximity to BART, Fairmount Ave. shops, Fat Apples,
Natural Grocery and the Food Annex. Several local parks including Tilden park are nearby and the
charming town of Kensington is less than 2 miles away. This is located in the popular highly rated Madera school district. Zoned for top rated Kensington Elementary School. (Great schools.org)
Nestled in the El Cerrito hills this home exudes charm and warmth the moment you lay eyes on it. The outdoor entertaining area offers the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. Whether enjoying peaceful evenings enjoying the night-time views or entertaining guests in your oasis it promises to be a haven of tranquility and joy for its fortunate new owners.

Neighborhood
Surrounded by tree-lined hills, views of the San Francisco Bay, and located just a few miles from the shoreline, El Cerrito is a beautiful town in the Bay Area. The neighborhoods in El Cerrito reflect the town’s Mid-century charm and appeal; and although most of the homes look like they were built in the 1940s and 1950s, they have been updated to satisfy modern tastes! The area is rich in music history as well: El Cerrito is the birthplace of John Fogerty and the famous rock band known as Creedence Clearwater Revival.
El Cerrito is one of the most desirable places in the Bay Area. You’ll find many early education schools such as Children’s Garden Montessori and Keystone Motessori plus several great elementary schools like Madera and Fairmont, plus a number of elementary charter schools focusing on STEM and Arts (*schools subject to availability). El Cerrito is also home to Fred T. Korematsu Middle School* and El Cerrito High School*, as well as a number of local private and charter schools*. The community is ideally located for UC Berkeley* students and faculty. A short trip from the El Cerrito del Norte station can have you on campus in 20 minutes.
Whether you love golf, hiking, or several other outdoor activities, El Cerrito has an option for you. Berkeley Country Club has been a staple in the community for nearly 100 years, and its beautiful 18-hole golf course provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay Area Bridge. Hikers love Hillside Natural Area; provides over 100 acres of open grasslands, and is a great place to enjoy a dog. If you prefer to take your dog to a park where they can interact with other furry friends, El Cerrito has a number of dog parks and paths along the Ohlone Trail as well as an East Bay favorite in nearby Richmons called Point Isabel Dog Park.
With two BART stations– El Cerrito Plaza and El Cerrtio Del Norte – as well as a number of transbay bus lines, El Cerrito is considered a fantastic San Francisco or Oakland commuter city. Enjoy direct BART trains to and from El Cerrito via the Richmond Line.
El Cerrito Plaza, located near the intersection of San Pablo Ave and Fairmount Avenue, serves several purposes. Aside from being a BART station, it is El Cerrito’s premier shopping center; stores include a Trader Joes, Lucky’s Supermarket, a CVS, a Verizon store, Joann’s Fabric, Chase Bank, Wells Fargo, Mechanics Bank, Daiso Japan, and several popular fast food restaurants. The El Cerrito Plaza area is a great hub to get your errands done in one spot. Grab a coffee at Pete’s while you drop off your packages at FedEX, get a haircut at Billy’s, get your car washed at Kaady, get a burger at Big Al’s, deposit a check at one of 3 banks, hit the Farmers Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays or from Trader Joes – all within the same sq ½ mile.
El Cerrito and the adjoining cities Albany and Richmond are a “foodies” paradise. Locals skip the bland national chains and opt for long standing local burger and dog joints like Big Al’s, Nation’s Giant Burgers (HQ’d in EL Cerrito), Red Onion Burgers, or nearby Philaburger Station. Some days feel right out of the 1950’s when residents can enjoy a Nation’s Giant Burger, then head across the street to check out a flick at the art deco Cerrito Theater (built in 1937).
Edging up against El Cerrito is also home to some of the best rated street food and “Taco Trucks” in the area, famous for Birria, Pupusas some top rated Burritos in the area. Just past the northwest border of El Cerrito on San Pablo, you have Tacos El Tucan featuring the ‘Big 6”’ Birria style “quesotaco.” And just a few blocks from El Cerrito Plaza, you can enjoy a libation at the Hotsy Totsy, then grab a delicious Burrito Al Pastor from Tacos El Autlense which is situated in the parking lot.
If you’re craving more than just fast food or street food, you will be amazed at the diverse array of local restaurants. Notable restaurants in El Cerrito include:
Mi Casa Grill; a new take on classic Mexican and Latin dishes, situated in a trendy (in a good way) setting.
Masa Tamales & Tacos: Incredible hand crafted latin food that became a favorite in Point Richmond, added a second location in El Cerrito.
Los Moles: A local favorite, creating one of the best Taco Tuesday buffets and Sunday Mole buffet spreads in the Bay Area.
Banana Leaf Thai: Great little local family owned and operated spot, with top rated curries.
Larb Thai Food & Tapas: One of the Bay Area’s highest rated Thai restaurants, locals and residents alike enjoy both the food and the atmosphere.
El Mono: Savor the flavors of authentic Peruvian cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere while gazing at the artwork on the walls.
From great food and shopping to convenient access to public transit, plus scenic views at every turn, El Cerrito has it all!
