1518 Norvell St

Welcome to one of the sweetest blocks in El Cerrito. The street curves and winds, flanked with young trees. Just a half block away is Castro Park, with play structures, tennis courts and a grassy field. But you may choose to just enjoy your own private park in your backyard, a huge, level, beautiful sunny space. Living here is quiet and serene, and in an incredibly convenient location. The house is level-in and ADA-friendly. Immediately notice the sun-drenched rooms with an open floor design. Soaring vaulted ceilings in the living room with skylights offer great light throughout the day, and this room flows beautifully into the spacious dining room and kitchen for easy entertaining. The updated kitchen overlooks the backyard, featuring stainless steel appliances, newer cabinetry, ample storage and continuous counter space. The smart floor plan provides open living spaces separate from sleeping rooms. Down the hall are 3 nice-sized bedrooms and a tastefully remodeled bath featuring lovely tile. The home also has a large basement and partial garage for plenty of storage. Perhaps the best feature of this property is the amazing outdoor space. Off the kitchen and master bedroom is a wrap-around deck with a hot tub, overlooking the park-like yard. The backyard is a fantastic sunny space. Not only does it feature a level grassy area and kids play structure, it is an oasis, a dream come true for anyone with an aspiring green thumb. Enjoy days of tranquility, entertaining and fun with California living at its best. There is a lot to love about this location. Locals cherish Giovanni's Produce & Grocery, and the home is just blocks to BART and a Transbay Bus stop. It's also very near the coveted Madera School, as well as hiking trails and the El Cerrito Swim Center. Look no further - your home search ends happily here.
