5457 Barrett Avenue

With mid-century provenance, one-level living, and beautiful updates, 5457 Barrett Avenue is an El Cerrito treasure. Pass through the curated garden with fruiting trees and enter the stately passageway to step into a private courtyard. Set back from the street, this is a peaceful space and the perfect entrance befitting this lovely home. Gorgeous and unique, the original floor tile at the threshold foretells the beauty inside. A spacious family room with gas-insert floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace flows easefully into a stately dining room. The kitchen, renovated with permits in 2021 is a cheerful respite - a perfect place for a home chef to create and entertain as the eat-in area sits next to a sunny sliding glass door that opens to the wrap-around deck. 

The four spacious bedrooms - one of which is an en-suite with adjoining bathroom renovated in 2022 - are sited on the north wing of the home. Two bedrooms have sliding glass doors that step out to the large deck, a perfect place for a splash of sun, the fresh air of an easy-to-tend garden, with enough space to entertain friends and family.

This home enjoys so many updates besides the new kitchen and en-suite bathroom, including updated electrical (2019 + 2022), water heater (2021), new fences (2024), and windows by Anderson (2006).

Complete with a large two-car garage and zoned for top-performing Mira Vista Elementary school, 5457 Barrett Avenue is a special opportunity for the home seeker who values move-in ready and one-level living.
