Lovely 3/2 home in the hills of El Cerrito with breathtaking views of the bay! Rental

This architecturally stunning property with panoramic bay views. This single level home is surrounded by giant boulders, trees, shrubs and beautifully natural landscaping that all but obscures the home from the street and neighbors creating a peaceful and private oasis. The space is well laid out with all three bedrooms on one end of the house and the living room, dining room, kitchen and den on the other side. Enjoy the eat-in kitchen and dining "nook" with two floor-to-ceiling windows in the corner where light, boulders and foliage surround you. There is a bonus room (den). The formal dining room has sliding doors that either open or close it off from the large living room where you are greeted by sky-high ceilings and a grand fireplace for the chilly bay nights. Extensive and recently upgraded decking with multiple means of access extends across the west side of the house. A multitude of windows provide stunning views throughout the house. The two west facing bedrooms have wooden shutters on the windows that adjust in multiple ways maximizing the views and breezes. A detached 2 car garage is accessible from the driveway and side deck, and there is a workshop space located below the house for additional storage. The driveway fits multiple cars. The property is included in the book Berkeley Rocks by Jonathon Chester which depicts properties that represent “stunning geographical treasures, architecture and landscape art…” of the Berkeley hills. It also shows how the rocks have been incorporated into home and landscape design by visionary architects such as Hardison and Komatsu who designed 1409 Brewster Drive. The house has also been included as a point of interest on various home and architecture walking tours. The property is located within walking distance of the highly acclaimed Madera Elementary School and the beautiful Arlington Park and tennis courts. The third and fourth fairways of the Mira Vista County Club are a mere half block away. A short drive brings you to both the El Cerrito Plaza and BART station. Shopping and dining options abound.
