Delightful three-bedroom, one-bathroom home on one of El Cerrito’s best blocks! Set on a generous lot along a peaceful street ending in a cul-de-sac, this property offers plenty of flexibility for creating an ADU, cultivating a lush garden, or expanding the home to suit your needs. Only two steps to entry, the sunny living room features a cozy fireplace and flows effortlessly into a welcoming dining area and a thoughtfully updated kitchen. Refinished hardwood floors throughout and built-in cabinetry provide a classic touch. Step outside onto the spacious deck, complete with built-in seating, perfect for relaxing or enjoying outdoor meals. Live off the land and enjoy your mature fruit trees and the harvest from your raised vegetable beds. The backyard includes two storage sheds, providing ample space for tools, equipment, or hobbies. Side access to the backyard allows for a separate ADU* entrance.
