Situated in an ideal El Cerrito Hills location, 1240 Contra Costa offers the ease of one-level living in a peaceful setting. Set up from the street, this remodeled home offers 1,791 square feet of living space beautifully connected to the surrounding patio and gardens; indoor-outdoor living at its best. The main living space has peek-a-boo views of the bay and is seamlessly connected to the dining room creating an expansive main living space. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2010 with high-end finishes including solid, custom-made birch cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a 36” Blue Star chef’s range. Set off on the other side of the home, are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The designer hall bathroom was fully remodeled in 2024 with a licensed contractor. With a tub for relaxing (or bathing children!) and a large stall shower, the hall bathroom offers everything one would need. Privately set off at the end of the hallway sits the primary bedroom suite, complete with full bathroom and a connection to the back patio and gardens. Zoned for top-performing Madera Elementary school. Open Thursday, February 8th, 9:30am-12pm, Saturday, February 10th, 2pm-4pm, and Sunday, February 11th, 12-2pm.
