About This Home

As of October 2022

Flexible and convenient, this handsome level-in El Cerrito home has something for everyone. Enter through the front courtyard past the magnificent magnolia and fig trees into the spacious & welcoming living areas. The expansive and bright kitchen has an eat-in dining area, new white quartz countertops with coordinated laminate flooring, stainless steel appliances and a laundry area to one side, with more space for home office or perhaps an added space for kids to play. The adjacent living/dining area has a distinctive Mid-Century brick fireplace with built-in shelving, and opens through French doors to a covered deck for outdoor entertaining. There are peek-a-boo views of the Bay and Albany Hill as you look out over the backyard, with plum and apple trees. With 3 bedrooms, 2 vintage tiled baths upstairs and plenty of closet space, one could live very comfortably without ever going downstairs. The lower level, accessed either via internal staircase or from its own separate entrance, has a one bedroom apartment with a large living area graced by its own brick fireplace and a full kitchen. Tons of closet/storage space, a 2-car garage, just a stones throw from the Colusa Circle with its weekly Farmers' Market & restaurants. BART & public transportation nearby. Open Sat & Sun.
