Description

Classic, four-bedroom*, two bath, sun-filled mid-century home with stunning panoramic North Bay views, an exceptionally practical and versatile floor plan, and a glorious backyard. Designed for comfortable, easy living, with a level-in entry, a perfect balance of openness and separation, three bedrooms on the main level, and a two-car garage with interior access. The spacious, light-filled lower level, with a bedroom, full bath, and great room, and both interior and exterior access, is the perfect guest suite, primary retreat, home office, or au pair.

Among the home’s highlights is a beautiful and expansive, fully fenced backyard with 2 decks, one a view-deck, off the dining room, with stairs to the yard, and a second, platform-style deck. Groomed but not fussy, the exceptional backyard delights with meandering pathways, patios, fruit trees, grape vines, Calla lilies, rose bushes, mature plantings, and a partial Bay view.

Although 2729 Del Monte exudes serenity, it is close to many amenities, including Berkeley Country Club, public transit, AC and BART, Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, and Arlington Market.

The main level:

  • Foyer with coat closet
  • Lovely eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, wonderful sunlight, and new hardwood floor (Feb 2026)
  • Large living room with gleaming hardwood floors, bay window with stellar, panoramic North Bay views, and classic mid-century paneled accent walls and fireplace 
  • Dining room with sliding doors to a view deck
  • Three bedrooms, each with big closets
  • Hall bath with new vanity ( Feb 2026)  and shower over tub
  • Generous storage space, including two linen closets, an entry closet, and a closet in the hallway near the entrance to the garage

The lower level:

  • Great room with new carpeting (Feb 2026), access to the backyard, and a fireplace
  • Bedroom 4* overlooking the backyard 
  • Full bath with laundry area
  • Access to the basement utility and storage area

Amenities:

  • Two-car garage with interior access and a wonderful workbench
  • Solar panels, owned and paid in full
  • Fresh paint in and out
  • Dual-pane wood windows 
  • Newly refinished hardwood floors and new hardwood floor in the kitchen (2026)
  • New carpeting (Feb 2026) on the lower level and the stairway accessing the lower level
  • New light fixtures (Feb 2026) throughout
  • Two furnaces, one heats the main level, and the other heats the lower level. This is a practical and efficient two-zone system.

Mira Vista

Tree-lined streets dotted with parks wind their way up the hill, leading to beautiful estates.

Welcome to Mira Vista

Homeowners in El Cerrito's Mira Vista neighborhood enjoy the same cachet as those who live in Berkeley's upscale Claremont district — but for a fraction of the price. Tree-lined streets dotted with parks wind their way up the hill, leading to beautiful estates accompanied by impeccably manicured gardens and panoramic views of San Francisco Bay and Marin.
 
El Cerrito's Mira Vista real estate includes celebrated homes and mansions that were originally built in the 1920s and '30s to house wealthy executives of the Standard Oil Company. Many of the homes are still occupied by descendants of those original owners, including the Bechtel and Downer families. The architectural styles include English cottages, Prairie homes and shingled cottages. Custom-designed residences enjoy equal popularity, with numerous contemporary dwellings and magnificent Italian and Spanish period revivals to choose from.
 
Mira Vista is situated on the north end of El Cerrito and is home to the beautiful Mira Vista Country Club. Abutting the hills of Wildcat Canyon, with grand views of the bay and an 18-hole golf course, the country club hosts many weddings, community meetings and family events.
