Property Description
Nestled in the hills of El Cerrito, 857 Sea View Dr offers a seamless blend of comfort, character, and everyday functionality. The main level features an airy layout that flows into a thoughtfully designed kitchen with premium finishes and custom cabinetry. Two bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs, while the lower level hosts a spacious primary suite and an additional living area with built-in workspace. Step outside to a large, whimsical backyard retreat with tiered landscaping, multiple decks, a basketball half-court, tree fort, and chicken coop—perfect for relaxing, gathering, or play. From various areas of the home and garden, enjoy views of the Bay, Berkeley Hills, Oakland skyline, partial Golden Gate Bridge, and Marin County. Significant system upgrades—including roof, furnace, water heater, plumbing, and seismic improvements—were completed by previous owners and noted as new at the time of the last sale in 2021. See improvements list for additional recent upgrades. Ideally located near local parks, transit, and neighborhood favorites, and zoned for Kensington Elementary, this home offers a flexible and welcoming setting for daily living.
