This home is truly a commuter’s dream in El Cerrito, moments from Del Norte BART, the Ohlone Greenway, and fast connections to I-80. From here, Berkeley and Oakland are an easy hop by train or bike, San Francisco is a straight BART or freeway ride, and Marin/San Rafael is a quick drive over the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge. Set on a classic brown-shingle building, this charming condo offers comfort, convenience, freshly painted with new flooring in generous-sized bedrooms. Enjoy an open layout with seamless flow between living and dining areas, plus a private patio off the bedroom perfect for morning coffee or evening unwind. The open kitchen provides ample cabinetry and prep space, while in-unit laundry adds everyday convenience. A standout perk is the enclosed garage offering secure parking (no street search), along with bonus on-site storage space. Secluded yet close to groceries, cafés, parks, and schools, this home offers flexibility, value, and location all in one. Perfect as a first home or a smart addition to your investment property portfolio for long-term value. Offered as-is, ready for you to personalize at your own pace and build lasting equity. With its practical layout and unbeatable access, 1708 Lexington Ave unit 2 is more than a home - it’s your East Bay launchpad.
