A thoughtful reimagining gives this El Cerrito home a more open, connected way to live. The permitted redesign brings the living, dining and kitchen areas together, transforming the original separated layout into a welcoming central living space anchored by a fireplace. The kitchen opens naturally to the dining and living areas, with a large island creating a central place to gather, entertain or simply spend time together. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the redesigned floor plan makes smart use of the home's existing footprint, including the creation of a junior suite with its own bathroom. The primary suite offers its own private bath and walk-in closet, while the hall bath features a freestanding soaking tub. New flooring visually connects the spaces, large windows bring in natural light, and a mini-split system provides heating and cooling. Outside, a wood patio, stone pathway and fresh landscaping create an inviting setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining or evenings under the string lights. Conveniently located near El Cerrito del Norte BART, neighborhood parks and trails, El Cerrito Plaza, San Pablo Avenue and local shopping and dining. More than a collection of updates, this is a home whose redesigned flow is best appreciated in person.
