California Dreaming in the Heart of El Cerrito

Bring back summer in this sun-splashed Mediterranean-style bungalow, with all one-level living on a highly coveted tree-lined street. Charming architectural details and vintage style meet thoughtful upgrades such as dual-pane Marvin windows, updated kitchen cabinetry with soft close drawers designed to look like the originals, a tiled countertop bathroom with separate tub and shower, and a glamorous vintage vanity mirror. Oversized custom picture windows in the living room and front bedroom preserve the 30s charm without compromising modern standards. Unique features such as the barrel ceiling, arched doorways, bullseye window in the front entry, sweet vintage light fixtures, and gorgeous hardwood floors all combine to create a welcoming and embracing atmosphere. From the kitchen head out onto the expansive deck with built-in benches for al-fresco dining and outdoor privacy. 

Just around the corner on Stockton Avenue, grab a coffee at Well Grounded, browse holiday gifts at Jenny K’s, or venture down the street and shop at the El Cerrito Natural Grocery and the Annex. Near El Cerrito BART and the El Cerrito Plaza farmers’ market as well as other local treasures such as El Cerrito Swim Center, Cerrito Vista Park, and the beloved Contra Costa Civic Theater all just blocks away.
