Breathtaking Views in El Cerrito! Tucked in the winding hills of El Cerrito, this charming 2,068 square foot* wood-shingled midcentury is a dream home. Boasting 3 bedrooms (with 2 fabulous plus spaces) and 2 1/4 baths. Step inside & immediately you'll be stunned by panoramic views of the bay. The home is flooded with natural light & invites you into the sunny first floor where you'll find 2 of the bedrooms & an updated bathroom. The ergonomic kitchen flows easily onto the gorgeous deck, rebuilt in 2021, inspiring outdoor dinners, hosting family & friends, lounging in the sun & watching the sunset over the bay. Downstairs, find the 3rd bedroom & 2nd ample bathroom, as well as two plus spaces (an entertainment space & plus room that owners used as a 4th bedroom). Here you can access the enormous backyard (over 8,800 SF), which offers endless possibilities for landscaping & outdoor activities. In the garage, find a freshly refinished laundry area/mud room & 1/4 bath - an incredibly useful extra space. Beyond its beauty, the sellers did a significant seismic retrofit in 2013 including installation of plywood sheathing & bolting behind the sheetrock in key areas of the home. Further, the home has both a furnace and AC installed 2 years ago. *Square footage from measurement
