Discover a beautifully updated El Cerrito Hills home where timeless architecture meets modern living, surrounded by an extraordinary private garden. Just minutes from Kensington, Berkeley, BART, regional parks, San Francisco, and Marin, this hidden gem offers the space, nature, and connection that are increasingly rare in the Bay Area. Set on approximately 10,000 sq. ft., this 2,755 sq. ft. home features five bedrooms, sun-filled living spaces, and a stunning chef's kitchen with pro-line appliances, custom wood cabinetry, and hand-selected stone countertops. Flexible spaces adapt effortlessly to working from home, family life, fitness, and hosting friends. The showstopping, professionally landscaped garden—featured in numerous publications—is an outdoor oasis with an expansive lawn and inviting spaces for play, dining, relaxing, and entertaining. From quiet morning coffee to unforgettable gatherings beneath the pergola, this is outdoor living at its best. Near the Kensington/Berkeley border and zoned for top-rated Madera Elementary, this exceptional property offers the best of both worlds: more space, more nature, and more room to live—without giving up your connection to the city.
