Property Description

In the historic Arlington Estates development in the El Cerrito Hills, this unique and stunning home is the perfect blend of modern sophistication and eclectic charm. It was custom-built in 1939 for Lucile and David Rynin, an esteemed professor of philosophy at U.C. Berkeley. This is the first time ever on the market. It features an impressive Japanese-style garden originally designed in 1954 by renowned landscape architect Nagao Sakurai. This home has a bit of magic and romance at every turn. A central entryway invites you into the superb redwood paneled living room with its soaring beamed ceilings, majestic brick fireplace, and gorgeous views out to the Bay. Recently Remodeled and refreshed, the home has been extensively updated with a new kitchen and three new baths, many new Marvin windows, and a new dual-level deck for enjoying the outdoors. The renovation work added 605sf of living space within the original footprint of the house. An adjacent vacant lot below the property is included in the sale, an intriguing possibility to build another dwelling, or perhaps a vineyard!*
