From the Agent: "Located on a secret cul-de-sac in the El Cerrito Hills, this exceptional home is entered through a private courtyard into a welcoming foyer with light from the floor-to-ceiling windows drawing you in. The iconic midcentury design creates a relaxing yet dramatic atmosphere, as you are surrounded by wood, black slate tile, vaulted ceilings, and stunning views of San Francisco and the Bay. The living room is grounded by an impressive fireplace and slate hearth—the perfect spot for gatherings, or simply to enjoy a good book. There is an adjacent library with pocket doors for creating a private space. There are also sliding doors that lead out to a large deck from both the living room and dining room. This is a home designed to entertain."
