## Description

### Agent Description
Custom Built hillside retreat with expansive views from every level.Custom Built hillside retreat with expansive views from every level. Welcome to 857 Balra Drive, perched in the coveted El Cerrito Hills. This newly renovated 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home spans three levels and 2,823 sqft of light-filled living, with each floor framing its own panoramic view of the Bay and surrounding hills. The main level opens to a seamless flow between living, dining, and an updated chef's kitchen with island, skylights, and contemporary finishes, built for both everyday living and entertaining. Three private primary suites, one on each level, offer rare flexibility for extended-household living, guests, or independent in-law and au pair quarters. A finished attic, dedicated home office, media room, music room, wine cellar, family room, and additional bonus spaces deliver true room-for-everything functionality. Bay windows, balconies, decks, and a fenced patio extend view-driven living outdoors at every turn. Modern systems throughout: tankless water heater, central heat, engineered wood flooring, and EV charger in the attached two-car garage. Custom Built. Premium hillside lot. One unforgettable view. Call this your home!
