7450 Terrace Dr, El Cerrito, CA 94530

The El Cerrito Unicorn has arrived. Some homes make you choose between walkability & views, between charm and space, between character and turnkey ease. This one refuses the tradeoff. Set in the heart of El Cerrito, 7450 Terrace Drive delivers the best of the Hills, sweeping views, mature landscaping, true privacy, & a legal ADU, all while placing you blocks from everything the neighborhood has to offer on foot. The main residence sits at 1745 sq. ft. & offers four bedrooms & two bathrooms, anchored by a kitchen that was redesigned & reimagined with high end appliances including a Bertazzoni stove, & a layout built for both quiet mornings & full scale entertaining. A private courtyard welcomes you and leads into a light filled foyer, where sunlight pours through updated windows across the living room, dining room, and kitchen. These spaces move together effortlessly, opening onto a patio just beyond the dining room where the view becomes part of the room itself. A designer mantel and mirror frame the fireplace, and ceiling planks in the living and dining rooms add warmth throughout. A generous island anchors the kitchen, & a one car garage connects directly into the home. The main level offers two spacious bedrooms & a beautifully designed bathroom for easy one level living. Downstairs, a color drenched library & family room offers a calm retreat or a natural gathering place, alongside two additional bedrooms, one en suite, & a dedicated laundry area. Outside, mature gardens surround a fire pit between the main home and the legal ADU, framed by two back decks made for the view. Refreshed front yard hardscape & an irrigation system make upkeep effortless. The oversized lot continues back to a beautifully constructed one bedroom, one bath ADU that sits at 538 sq. ft., with tall ceilings, abundant natural light, & designer finishes, complete with its own private deck, solar, heat pump, & on demand water heater. Updates include a fully remodeled kitchen & main bathroom, a remodeled guest suite downstairs, a new roof & gutters, all new exterior windows, copper plumbing throughout, fresh interior & exterior paint, & solar with an EV charger for the whole property. Walkable to Jenny K Gift Shop, Well Grounded, El Cerrito Natural Grocery, Kensington Circle, Solano Avenue, Cerrito Theatre, and Banter Wine, this home sits at the true center of everything that makes this pocket of El Cerrito special. Fully updated and move in ready, we are proud to present it to you.
