Funky, Fun & Flexible Living

Tucked away on a little hill sits a home where the owners didn’t just see potential—they carefully brought it back to life, restoring its true beauty —and even created a slideshow of the fun. From the outside, it appears modest and unassuming. Step inside, though, and you’re met with a vibrant, eclectic mix of hip and funky layered with comfort and creativity.

The layout flows easily: a welcoming living room opens into a dining space highlighted by a wallpapered ceiling and a retro light fixture that frames every meal just right. Beyond, the kitchen pops with a playful Heath ceramic tile backsplash—colorful, cool, and perfectly unexpected. Every detail invites you forward, pulling you toward the real showstopper: the backyard.

The two bedrooms, thoughtfully tucked away from the main living areas, give you plenty of flexibility. The bonus room is set up as a perfect office, den, or truly, any kid would love this cozy space.* The refreshed bathroom shines with updated touches that tie everything together. But wait—there’s more! Step outside and discover a yard designed for everyone: spread out at the picnic bench to take in hillside views and El Cerrito city lights, sway in a hammock, or gather around a fire pit for s’mores under the stars.

And for movie nights? Head down to the lower level, where you’ll find another bedroom and a full bath**, currently home to a projector setup. It’s the perfect flex space—guest quarters, teen hangout, or your own mini theater. Still not enough? A detached office offers endless possibilities: art studio, hideaway, she-shed, or whatever inspires you.

There’s truly too much to list—so instead, come see this sweet house for yourself.
