About This Home

As of September 2023

Ideally located fab 1940’s bungalow seeks loving new owner. Nestled on a tree-lined sought-after street, adorable sunny bungalow seeks a loving owner for long-time caring relationship. First time on the market in nearly 40 years, this charming light-filled abode has all the basics, and then some: gleaming hardwood floors grace the generous living and dining area; large windows offer peaceful views of greenery and garden. Beautifully updated kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, quartz counters, and a tile backsplash. A new heating system, and an updated bathroom complete the picture. Comfy, cozy, and efficient, this perfect 2-BR/1-BA starter home comes with an established flower and veggie garden, plus there’s plenty of room to play, or dine al fresco. Did we mention the flourishing apple tree? A detached garage provides parking and storage, but just imagine a private home office or art studio. Blocks away from many of El Cerrito’s favorite destinations (Fat Apple’s Restaurant, El Cerrito Natural Food Annex, Rialto Theater, El Cerrito Plaza/BART, Banter Wine, Well Grounded Coffee and Tea, Pastime Hardware, and great El Cerrito schools and parks. Come see this delightful home. 630 Albemarle is waiting for you with open arms.
