2325 Carquinez AvenueEl Cerrito, CA 94530Price: $995,000

The kind of place that you can't wait to come home to - a beautifully cared for home with views plus a miniature park, all your own. Kick off your shoes and enter the sun lit house. A spacious, mid-century kitchen to your left. Two playfully colorful bedrooms to your right, straddling a full bathroom. The house delights with pops of color, accents of Douglass fir, and hardwood floors throughout. Ahead, you'll see a sunny living room and elegant fireplace, and just beyond that, the feature we all can't help fall in love with; a sunroom wrapped in windows, drenched in natural light and flowing directly to the redwood deck. Nap, read, play a board game? Wile away the hours here, enjoying views and streaming natural light. Standing on the deck, you'll look out at panoramic views with a peekaboo bay. Through the trees, what is that you see? Yes, it really is a pool in El Cerrito. Downstairs, find a cozy family room, a workshop, and the primary bedroom with its own en suite bathroom. The family room leads out to a large patio, giving you direct access to a sprawling, meandering garden planted with an incredible diversity of edibles and ornamentals. Truly, a gardener's paradise. You'll get lost wandering through the trees; puttering in the garden will be your weekend pleasure. Just beyond that is the pool, sparkling and pristine. Carquinez is your own little vacation in El Cerrito. You'll never want to leave.
