About This Home

As of January 2022

This charming home, with a distinctive whimsical fireplace chimney has been in the same family for several decades. Built by builder C.M MacGregor in 1939, it was later expanded with a large family room addition. Located on a corner lot in convenient proximity to schools, and to El Cerrito Plaza: it is in walking distance to many shops including Trader Joe. Commuter's dream: walk to BART station, or be within minutes on Hwy 80. Newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, new carpet in the family room, this home is ready for a new owner.
