Remarks

Get ready to fall head-over-heels for this adorable 2+ bed, 1 bath bungalow in prime El Cerrito. Smart upgrades such as owned solar panels with a battery backup, an EV charger, an energy-efficient heat pump for heating and cooling, and beautiful new (2026) and refinished hardwood floors. A flexible third space at the back of the house is ready to become your dedicated home office, inspiring workout room, or cozy guest retreat.* The kitchen features gorgeous Heath tile, handsome quartz countertops, a wall oven with a side swing door, and gas cooktop. Easy access to the garage and laundry. Outside, you’ll find two fantastic spaces: a front garden perfect for soaking up the sun and socializing with the neighbors, and a wide-open back garden with a mix of sun and shade. The peaceful soundtrack of the creek just beyond the back fence seals the deal, creating a truly tranquil atmosphere. Convenient access to shops, restaurants, freeway, transportation and El Cerrito BART. *Buyer to verify. Open house Sun 3/29 from 1-4 PM.
