Spanish Style El Cerrito Home

Located in a sweet vintage neighborhood nestled in the El Cerrito foothills, this 1927 Mediterranean-style split-level home features two bedrooms, one bathroom, formal living and dining rooms, a kitchen, breakfast room, a detached two-car garage and picturesque San Francisco Bay and city views from most rooms. An exterior embellished with arched doorways, white stucco walls, terracotta tiles and wrought iron railings give this home both vintage charm and wonderful curb appeal, enhanced by the sunny corner location and across the street from an intimate neighborhood park with picnic and grassy areas, a small playground and two basketball courts. 
The home's interior offers an attractive, traditional floor plan filled with charming period details and arched doorway openings throughout. An entry hall leads to a spacious, sunlit living room with oversized picture windows providing distant views of the Marin hills and San Francisco Bay and skyline through multiple windows around the room. This elegant space also offers simple crown moulding, an arched wall niche bookcase, a dramatic Spanish-style chimney fireplace, and refinished hardwood floors that continue throughout the home. Next to the living room, a formal dining room features a new stylish light fixture, bright natural light, and partial Bay and city views through yet another oversized picture window. The kitchen and breakfast room are adjacent to the dining room, and include a terracotta floor, a vaulted kitchen ceiling, and bay windows with San Francisco skyline views. 
The home's bedrooms and bathrooms are located up a split level staircase accented with the decorative 1920s wrought iron railing. The generously sized primary bedroom has crown moulding, an oak floor, a closet with an original airing window, and French doors that open to a sweet Juliet balcony. A second well-sized bedroom is located at the end of the hall, next to an attractive bathroom with a tub/shower combination. 
Just minutes to North Berkeley and Albany shopping and restaurants, two BART stations, public transportation and major freeways, this lovely home is a classic El Cerrito gem!
