From its tranquil hillside setting, this totally transformed five-plus bedroom, four-bathroom home marvels at the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco skyline. A thorough renovation carved out three levels of contemporary living space; it embraces an open layout featuring view-exalted window expanses, an extravagantly appointed kitchen, angular wood-beamed ceilings and wide-plank wood floors. The interior extends to a view-gazing deck connected to the nearly a half-acre property. Perched in an aerial pocket of El Cerrito, the home nestles near scenic recreation and natural wonders. Within about a half mile, Huber Park is primed for play, and Blake Garden, a UC Berkeley satellite, gives guided tours and bird walks and welcomes visitors to stroll its botanical gardens. Also nearby, Tilden Regional Park's 2,000 acres of abundant attractions include hiking, biking, picnicking, golf, Little Farm and Steam Train.
