In 2006 M & B began their home search, initially focusing on Oakland properties. At that time, I encouraged them to broaden their parameters and explore areas N. of Oakland, as well. We ventured N. to 843 Gelston Pl and they were instantly smitten. They fell in love with the glorious, panoramic wire-free views, the huge deck & the beautiful yard, w/ fruit trees, pathways & lawn. Fortunately, their offer was accepted & 843 Gelston Pl became their new home. Now, after 16+ years, M & B have relocated, and others will have an opportunity to fall in love with this wonderful home. This extraordinary mid-century home has exquisite views from both levels, light that streams in throughout the day, a seamless indoor-outdoor flow & a perfect balance of openness & separation. Classic details blend seamlessly w/ updates. The liv rm & din rm open to a large view deck & the lower level, comprised of a bedrm, ba & family rm, offers versatility. It can serve as a private bedrm retreat or a guest suite, home office, or au-pair. It has a sep. entrance as well as internal access. Zoned for the acclaimed Hilltop Elem School in Kensington & close to Arlington Park, Cerrito Vista Park, public transit, the EC Swim Center, CC Civic Theater and EC Natural Grocery, this home could not be better located.
