An El Cerrito Hills home with a glow-up, 7436 Potrero represents the ease of one-level living nested in a curated garden setting. The sunny living room enjoys a garden view through a large picture window, flanked on one side by a layered stone fireplace and on the other a dining space complete with designer lighting. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2024 with high-end finishes including custom-ordered oak cabinets, midcentury-inspired tile, and stainless steel appliances. Three spacious bedrooms and a newly renovated full bathroom with handmade cement tile are ideally located apart from the main living space to encourage a quiet and private place to retire. Step downstairs to a large family room and darling half bathroom with a separate entrance from the lower garden patio. Find your way up the peaceful path to the upper terrace and enjoy the best views in El Cerrito of the Bay, bridges, and gorgeous hillside! This home enjoys so many updates, including a new furnace and new windows throughout in 2023, seismic retrofit (2017), brand new kitchen and full bathroom (2024), and electric upgrade in 2006. Complete with a large two-car garage and zoned for top-performing Madera Elementary school. Open Sunday, April 29, 2-4 PM.
