Perched on a third of an acre in the El Cerrito hills, 847 Galvin Drive is a Midcentury retreat with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, and the Bay. Tucked away from the street for privacy, this property offers livability, possibility, and charm. Inside, the living room, dining room, and eat-in kitchen boast panoramic vistas. You'll love the freshly refinished hardwood floors, natural light, and fireplace. A slider opens to a large deck—perfect for morning coffees and dazzling sunsets. The updated, eat-in kitchen features new appliances, countertops, flooring, and lighting, and leads to an enviable laundry room with views! Two spacious bedrooms with ample closet space on the main level are filled with natural light. The spacious retro pink-tiled bathroom is a real charmer. The flexible lower level includes a bedroom, an ample rumpus room with yard access, full kitchen, bath, and bonus room—ideal as a separate guest suite or contiguous living space. The expansive yard offers endless potential for entertaining, play, or perhaps an ADU (Buyer to satisfy). Located near Cerrito Vista Park, BART, and just minutes from the highway and Trader Joe's, this home provides hillside tranquility with easy access to El Cerrito’s best offerings.
