Nestled in a sweet pocket of El Cerrito, right across from Poinsett Park. We proudly present this exceptional home, with graceful 1920’s period details and a gracious layout. The handsomely pitched roof and curved archways pull design inspiration from Tudor and Spanish Colonial architecture. 5401 Hillside features floor-to-ceiling windows where natural light fills the spacious living room. The main level features a stunning formal dining room, an en-suite bedroom with an updated bathroom, and a renovated kitchen - perfect for the home chef and entertainer. Those who value single-level living will find this home can provide easy living on one level. Up the graceful curved staircase are four beautifully appointed bedrooms, a bathroom with the most delightful tile on the market, and generously sized closets. Downstairs, find a dedicated laundry room. Pass through the private and sweet backyard, with a sunny deck and beloved garden to a two-car detached garage. Ideally located in highly coveted El Cerrito and nearby to neighborhood favorites such as Poinsett Park and Canyon Trail Park, Mi Casa Grill, and easy access to public transportation. Open houses Thurs., August 17th from 9:30am to 12pm, Sat, August 19th & Sun, August 20th 2pm-4pm.
