Step into a real-life fairy tale. This enchanting single-level Storybook Tudor greets you with rustic fieldstone cladding, a steep front gable, and a cheerful brick-red plank door. It’s pure Hansel and Gretel charm from the curb and well-maintained throughout. The living room greets you with a Wow— a soaring wood-beamed vaulted ceiling and a dramatic arched window flood the space with light, flanked by an elegant fireplace and built-in bookshelf niche. The kitchen shows off its modern credentials with lovely cabinets, quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances and an eat-in breakfast nook. Just beyond, the delightful dining room features irregular terracotta tile flooring, a built-in china cabinet and divided light windows, all under a striking hip-and-gable ceiling. It’s made for entertaining. Down the hall, an updated bathroom features a large tiled shower, while two spacious bedrooms offer dramatic vaulted ceilings, generous closets, natural light and peaceful backyard views. Outside, the charm continues with the large level lot, extra-long driveway and deep, fenced yard. At the back, an adorable wood-clad cottage-style garage and laundry shed carry forth the whimsical architecture and are big enough to serve as storage space or a potential ADU. The house is zoned for El Cerrito schools. This friendly neighborhood is close to parks, schools, two BART stations and the Ferry Terminal, shops, restaurants, and easy freeway access.
