First time on the market in 50 years, this once-in-a-generation single-level estate at 8765 Terrace Drive in El Cerrito sits on nearly half an acre of completely flat, usable land behind a private entry gate. The sprawling, park-like grounds set the stage for a home built for entertaining, with panoramic views enjoyed from the kitchen, formal dinning room, living room, and primary suite. Vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings grace the formal dining room, living room, and primary suite, while the gourmet kitchen showcases a 60” Viking stove and beautiful cabinetry, opening to a wooden deck on one side and a sunken family room on the other. The 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath layout is complemented by a detached, temperature-controlled wine room holding up to 500 bottles with its own side patio. A three-car garage with deep storage closets, and a generous garden shed tucked behind the garage add to the high points of this home. Owned solar panels paired with two Enphase battery backup system, two central heating and air conditioning units, and low-maintenance and manicured yard round out this rare offering - a true legacy home ready for its next family.
