The promise of a storybook ending starts with a storybook house. This El Cerrito charmer is that rare combination of timeless charm harkening back to the late 1930s, but also with modern amenities and contemporary upgrades. This property begins with a picturesque front yard, a shade tree, green grass and a white picket fence. Step onto your sizable porch for sunsets and quiet times. Inside, you get bragging rights to the original wood floors dating to 1938 construction. Beautifully textured ceilings, crown molding, a wood burning fireplace, window shutters, and that big archway to the dining. The dining room with its wainscoting and built-ins feels comfortable and big enough for dinner parties. This area could be even more formalized, or make it a space for meals, homework and crafts. The gorgeous chef s kitchen has a kitchen door (#bonus!) that again feels like the architecture of a different era. Now, in 2021, enjoy the truly modern appliances, subway tile, farm sink, gas stove and French door freezer/fridge. Light and bright with a big window. The design pops in black & white with a touch of red. The main hallway leads to bedrooms, one currently functioning as an office, and then that mint green full bath. Pristine in condition: keep the Art Deco tradition going! Just add white towels! Time period cabinetry and feel throughout the home. The front bedroom faces west and gets afternoon light. The primary bedroom is in the back of the home and should sleep well with a more tucked away feeling. The primary bedroom has its own turnkey bath. Of note, both bathrooms have a tub
