About this home
Indoor Outdoor Flow + Mid Century Vibes + Butterfly Garden = WOW. Step inside this beautifully preserved 3+ bedroom, 2 bathroom home where easy living meets everyday comfort. You're welcomed by an open-concept living room, updated windows framing natural light, & a fireplace that anchors the whole space. It flows effortlessly into the formal dining room, where a picture window sets the scene for your next dinner party, then right into the kitchen with its playful pop of color on the new (2026) tile backsplash. Original hardwood floors run throughout, tying the whole home together with warmth and character. Your lifestyle here? Effortless. Pull into the two-car garage, take two steps up, and you're home, all on nearly one level. The family room opens straight to the backyard, and this is where the magic happens. It's an entertainer's dream with zones to play, relax, and host unforgettable dinners under the stars. The landscape is curated and alive, a glowing mix of plants, butterfly attractors, and a pesticide-free native habitat where birds sing and you finally get to exhale. Dine al fresco under the trees and soak in the kind of calm we're all chasing. The primary suite is a true sanctuary with its own ensuite bath. Add a set of French doors out to the garden, and you've got instant sweat equity. Two more bedrooms flex easily as an office or guest space, one with potential for its own garden connection. You're minutes from El Cerrito Plaza, BART, Trader Joe's, and the Ohlone Greenway. Tilden Park's trails are just up the hill, and downtown El Cerrito's shops & restaurants are an easy stroll away. And yes, it's zoned for Madera Elementary*, where kids walk to school, and neighbors throw legendary block parties. This is the home you've been waiting for: style, function, and community, all in one. A Few Key Updates: Bathrooms updated, including a new primary bathroom vanity and faucet (2026); new stainless steel kitchen appliances (2026); new tile backsplash plus wood partitions built in next to the stove (2026); updated lighting throughout (2024 to 2026); updated dual-pane windows; updated electrical, goodbye knob-and-tube; updated plumbing; new carpet in the family room (2026); fresh interior and exterior paint; updated fencing & concrete walkways where needed; & low-maintenance, pesticide-free landscaping with plenty of your favorite butterfly attractors. *Any interested parties should verify the school district & availability....
