Property Description

Discover a sanctuary of peace and modern sophistication in this meticulously remodeled El Cerrito gem. Held by the same family for decades and recently updated with permits, this 3BD/2BA Mid-Century Modern home seamlessly blends Japanese-inspired aesthetics with high-end contemporary finishes. A serene Zen garden welcomes you with a peaceful walkway, bridge, and plum trees. Inside, gleaming bamboo floors lead to an expansive living area with a stone hearth and a dining space overlooking a central courtyard — perfect for al fresco meals. The chef's kitchen features new stainless appliances, designer lighting, and a bonus lounge for easy entertaining. The primary suite is a true retreat with shoji screens, views of a magnificent wisteria, and a premium en suite with a double vanity. Two additional light-filled bedrooms offer ample closet space and hardwood floors. The sunny backyard is an orchard oasis with Asian pear and apple trees. Located steps from Korematsu Middle School, Castro Park, and the El Cerrito Swim Center, you're also just minutes from hiking at Canyon Trail Park and the Ohlone Greenway. With a rare 2-car garage and easy access to BART or the Transbay bus to SF, this home offers the perfect balance of tranquility and urban convenience. Experience a home that truly nourishes the soul.
