Set back high off the street for maximum privacy, this Craftsman-era bungalow has 100+ year-old bones, charm in spades, and potential galore, all tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac on an extraordinary, nearly 7,000-square-foot parcel in the hills. Meander up the path through the native gardens, perhaps picking a ripe Gravestein apple along the way, and you begin to understand what makes this property so special. The home itself is cozy, comfy, light-filled, and ready for its next chapter. It offers an exciting opportunity for someone with vision, whether that means thoughtfully improving the existing cottage, reimagining the property over time, or simply settling in and enjoying this uncommonly generous piece of land. There are Bay views and spectacular sunsets that bring the day to a beautiful close, followed by the peaceful sound of crickets at dusk. The real magic is outside. A tamed wilderness, the grounds unfold beneath a magnificent mature oak, creating a private garden retreat that feels worlds away. Established natives and edible gardens include fruiting kiwi vines, raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries, alpine strawberries, plus plum, Gravenstein apple, Meyer lemon, Mexican lime, mandarin, and calamansi citrus trees. A true haven for hummingbirds, butterflies, and local wildlife. While the home retains much of its original character, a roof with years of useful life remaining, newly installed solar panels, and a Tesla Powerwall bring some welcome modern-day benefits, including backup power during outages and dramatically reduced energy bills. Over more than a century, only three owners have called this bungalow their own, each a steward of a special little house on an extraordinary piece of land. Now it’s ready for its next chapter, with character to preserve, space to enjoy, and endless possibilities for what comes next. Open Houses: 10/17 & 10/18, 2:00-4:00pm. www.722avilaplace.com

Virtually level-in, this spacious 1960s-era 3-bedroom, 2-bath home emanates Mid-Century Modern style even before you step inside. Recessed lighting and gorgeous random-plank hardwood floors guide you through the large, light-filled living room, past a stately brick fireplace, and into the dining room, where sliding glass doors open onto a private patio retreat complete with an outdoor wood-fired grill. The generous kitchen connects with the dining room for an easy entertaining flow, and features a breakfast bar, quartz countertops, and abundant storage. Black-clad Marvin windows set off the warm wood details throughout the home and help keep the temperature comfortable year-round. Down the hall, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with en-suite bath and a cedar-lined walk-in closet, a separate laundry room, and a hall bath with dual sinks and a few preserved 1960s details. Out front, an impressive drought-tolerant garden designed and installed by Farallon Gardens five years ago has been meticulously maintained ever since and will stop you in your tracks. The care and love poured into this home are evident at every turn. To top it off, the location can't be beat: just under half a mile to Del Norte BART, a short stint farther to Los Moles Beer Garden, and close to the Canyon Trails tennis courts and the Skyline National Trail in Wildcat Canyon. Restaurants, transit, and outdoor adventure, all in equal measure.

It's rare to find a home that truly checks every box, and 811 Lexington Avenue does. Just blocks from El Cerrito Plaza BART and easy public transit, this single level home puts you within a short stroll of El Cerrito Natural Grocery, The Annex, Banter, the Cerrito Theater, El Cerrito Plaza, and so much more. Morning coffee, a quick grocery run, dinner and a movie: it's all right around the corner. From the street, you'd never guess how much space waits inside. The sellers reimagined the kitchen with a thoughtful, design forward eye, and the open concept layout flows effortlessly from kitchen to dining to living, creating a true entertaining space for everyday living and hosting alike. Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of cabinetry give you room to really cook and host, while the generous center island works as a prep station, a gathering spot for friends and family, or a quiet place to catch up on work. The home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a bedroom designed as a home office or kids' zone. At the heart of the home, a family room brings everything together for game night, Sunday football, or cheering on the Valkyries. Tucked away at the back of the home, the primary suite is a true retreat with ample privacy, featuring an oversized walk in closet and a beautiful en suite bath. Everything lives on one level, with just a single step at the entry and direct access from the garage. A laundry room right off the kitchen doubles as a mudroom from the backyard, so you can drop everything, close the door, and keep the rest of the home tidy. Thoughtful, practical design shows up in every corner. And the backyard? It's a dream. Flat, spacious, and fully fenced for privacy, it's ready for kicking a ball, soaking up the sun, weekend barbecues, or giving your favorite pup room to roam. Did we mention the outdoor sauna and shower? Your own private wellness escape, just steps from the back door. Beneath the home, the sellers have already done the heavy lifting with a French drain, sewer lateral compliance, seismic upgrades, and more, plus generous storage underneath for bikes, gear, and everything in between. The work is done, so all that's left for you is to move in and enjoy. Walkable, thoughtfully updated, move in ready, and loved by sellers who cared for every detail, this is the one you've been waiting for.
