A true Mid-Century home, born in 1950 but shines bright with an art deco flair, sits strong in the heart of El Cerrito, just minutes to BART, the Hillside Natural area, fun shops, restaurants, & our awesome Banter Wine Bar! Only two stairs up to the front door as you are welcomed into this home. The entryway leads you to a welcoming foyer, followed by a spacious living room with a fireplace. A formal dining room adjacent to the kitchen marries the incredible preserved charm with practical updates. Updated appliances silhouette the character-filled kitchen with its basketweave tile to the fun retro floors, and don't forget the curved walls with fabulous unique built-ins perfectly preserved & adding so much originality. The home offers 3 bedrooms, & 2 bathrooms - including a primary en-suite that faces the yard just calling for some French doors to be added so you can have full access to the large, flat, expansive yard area. The fully fenced-in level yard offers a wide range of possibilities from planting your favorite vegetables or flowers, maybe adding more in the future, or really, whatever you can dream - it's a wide canvas for a lot of possibilities. Some other practical highlights are a newer roof, completely new paint both inside & outside, updated light fixtures & a garage.
