This custom-built, MacGregor-style, split-level gem is nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac in a prime location in El Cerrito. The professionally-designed front garden, which is frequently visited by hummingbirds and butterflies, greets guests upon arrival. Once inside, take in the elegant and beautiful entry hall with a soaring open-beamed ceiling, arched doorways, hardwood-floored adjacent rooms, plus a graceful stairway with wrought iron railings. The light-filled, large living room features a pellet stove fireplace insert, and the formal dining room offers a picture window view of the backyard. The vintage kitchen, complete with a Wedgewood stove and door to the backyard, is connected to the cheery breakfast room for leisurely morning coffee. Up the stairs are two bright and good-sized bedrooms, plus a full, charming, vintage bath. A few stairs down from the entry hall is the tidy garage with laundry, and a large, bonus room with a half bath and a door to the backyard. Mature trees grace the fenced backyard, which offers a shed and plenty of options for relaxing, playing, or gardening. Fantastic central location with convenient access to El Cerrito Plaza shops and restaurants, BART, and public transportation.
