WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS HOUSE?


WARNING: IF YOU JUST DRIVE BY THIS HOUSE, YOU WILL NOT SEE IT

 

The reason? This house is oriented towards the back patio and garden, which is pictured in part above.  In a coveted location in the El Cerrito Hills, the house is set far back on the lot and is partially blocked by shrubs for privacy. In fact there is no front entrance at all - to enter the house you must enter the locked gate to come around to the back.  The house surrounds the brick patio (right photo) Japanese style, backed by a long garden on a slight upslope to the rear fence. There are several garden spaces both front and rear, with beds, expanses of green, and mature trees. This gorgeous private setting is a primary feature of the house.

Inside you will find this 1930's "contemporary" ready for your finishing touches. No fancy staging or quickie paint jobs here -- you can polish this dream house in the making to your specifications. This is truly an opportunity that does not present itself often.
