About this home

Tucked away in the lush, tree-covered El Cerrito hills & just minutes from the heart of the city, is a serene home that offers the perfect blend of urban convenience with nature-filled living. Surrounded by natural rock formations, mature trees, vibrant greenery, and a stream! The huge lot offers the peak-a-boo Bay and Bridge views & a private retreat that feels worlds away from the hustle & bustle—yet very close the Del Norte BART station, Fred Korematsu Middle School & Castro Park. Just a hop to shops, restaurants, & cultural hotspots. Along with being on a cul-de-sac this special home has no steps to the covered front porch entry. All on one level, there are 3 bedrooms & a lovely updated bath. Full of natural light, & featuring recently refinished gleaming Oak Hardwood floors, the spacious floor plan brings in the outdoors, and highlights the stunning hillside and tree views. PLUS, there's a totally unfinished storage area under the house that would be an excellent expansion opportunity! Sip your morning coffee while enjoying views from the breakfast bar or the elevated fresh air deck. Think of working from home with birdsong in the background, then enjoying sunset walks along nearby trails. This home offers a rare lifestyle—where city energy meets natural tranquility.

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1944, this property has undergone significant updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated white cabinets, butcher block countertops, and a modern black faucet, though the appliances are functional but not high-end stainless steel, and the flooring is basic. The description notes a 'lovely updated bath' and 'recently refinished gleaming Oak Hardwood floors' throughout. While not a full luxury renovation, the property is well-maintained with recent updates that align with the 'Good' category's renovation timeframe of 5-15 years, with minimal wear and tear.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Accessibility: Nestled in the lush El Cerrito hills on a cul-de-sac, offering a private, nature-filled retreat while being minutes from urban conveniences, including Del Norte BART, schools, shops, and restaurants.
Stunning Views & Natural Surroundings: Features 'peak-a-boo' Bay and Bridge views, along with captivating hillside and tree views. The property is surrounded by natural rock formations, mature trees, vibrant greenery, and a stream, creating a serene environment.
Expansion Potential: A significant unfinished storage area under the house presents an excellent opportunity for future expansion, adding considerable value and living space.
Desirable Interior Features & Layout: Offers single-level living with no steps to the entry, abundant natural light, recently refinished gleaming Oak Hardwood floors, and a lovely updated bathroom, enhancing comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Unique Lifestyle Offering: Provides a rare blend of urban convenience and natural tranquility, ideal for those seeking a peaceful home environment with easy access to city amenities and nearby trails for outdoor activities.

Cons

Age of Construction (1944): Built in 1944, the property, despite some updates, may have older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly detailed.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 3 bedrooms, the presence of only one bathroom could be a functional limitation for families or multiple occupants, potentially impacting daily convenience and broad market appeal.
Unfinished Expansion Requires Investment: While offering expansion potential, the 'totally unfinished storage area' implies a substantial additional financial investment and project management commitment for the buyer to convert it into usable living space.
