Property Description

This four-bedroom, two-bath home in El Cerrito is a quintessential expression of mid-century modern design—thoughtful in layout, vibrant in character, and oriented toward effortless indoor-outdoor living. With mostly one-level functionality, it combines classic style with everyday comfort. The private patio and inviting pool set the scene for year-round enjoyment and relaxed entertaining. The living room makes a striking first impression with a large picture window that wraps the corner of the room, a brick fireplace that anchors the space, random plank hardwood floors, and easy access to the family room and the upper lounge. These timeless details embody the home’s mid-century spirit. In the adjacent formal dining room, a sliding door—spanning the wall—leads directly to the backyard and pool. The kitchen/family room also connects to the patio, creating a natural hub for gathering. Baths, including the primary ensuite, have been updated and two-car garage has interior access. Upstairs, a lounge with vaulted ceiling (technically the 4th bedroom) and adjacent sunroom are wrapped in walls of windows, offering wide outlooks and glimpses of the Bay. Rough-hewn wood accents and floating shelves add personality. This peaceful upper-level retreat is the home’s unexpected gem.
