Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in El Cerrito’s sought-after “Views” neighborhood, this 1961 mid-century ranch home combines timeless California design, Bay views, and modern eco-conscious living. From the kitchen and expansive deck, enjoy vistas of SF, GG Bridge, and the Bay. Great for entertaining, the single-level floor plan features a spacious living room with a fireplace, large picture windows. A formal dining room remains open to the kitchen for easy conversation with the cook. The kitchen includes granite counters, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and views from the sink and the eating area. Sliding doors in both the kitchen and primary bedroom open to the generous deck, protected by a glass windscreen for year-round outdoor living and sunset views. The perfectly organized floor plan hosts three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and en suite bath. Abundant storage includes deep closets, a large storeroom beneath the kitchen, and a two-car garage with 2 EV chargers. 2.7-kilowatt solar panels with 200 Amp service, a newer Lennox efficiency heater, solar light well and window films help reduce energy use. The landscaped garden features fruit trees, raised beds, and flowers.
