A charming single-level bungalow located in El Cerrito’s St. Jerome’s neighborhood, this 3+BD, 1.5BA beauty exudes an effortless elegance all its own. Lined in oak hardwoods and appointed with ample windows, the 1,412-SF home reveals a hydrangea-dotted yard with turf lawn, play area on Ipe deck and paver patio. From the street, a cheery front yard has been freshly landscaped with drought-resistant greenery. A brick walk welcomes guests, ushering them into a spacious living room with wood burning fireplace. Decked in statement making wallpaper, a gracious dining room sets the stage for dinner parties, joined by a nearby sun room. In the kitchen you’ll find quartz counters and S/S appliances, along with a breakfast nook. Boasting two marble-clad bathrooms with hexagonal tile flooring, you’ll find an ensuite powder room off the primary. Updated with a newer roof, gutters, downspouts and solar panels (owned), this El Cerrito gem affords ample storage and off-street parking.
