    What's special

    Decorative brick fireplaceLow-maintenance fully fenced backyardBrick pathwayDetached garageHardwood floors throughoutBackyard with raised deckSpacious dining area

    From the moment you walk up the brick pathway, this charming home welcomes you with a beautiful front yard filled with greenery and succulents. A gated entryway opens into a private courtyard that separates the main house from a detached garage offering a quiet, secure outdoor oasis. Inside, the home opens up to a bright living space, anchored by beautiful hardwood floors and a decorative brick fireplace. Large picture windows flood the interior with natural light. Moving through the home, the layout flows into a spacious dining area featuring a custom built-in bookshelf and matching cabinetry, which offers plenty of storage and charm. Directly adjacent is the galley kitchen, which comes fully equipped with modern stainless steel appliances including a flat-top induction stove, dishwasher, and French-door refrigerator. The kitchen even opens up into a versatile bonus nook at the far end, making it an ideal setup for a sunny home office or a cozy breakfast area. At the other end of the kitchen, a dedicated utility and laundry room, featuring a modern, front-loading combination washing machine and dryer. Down the hallway you will find the home's comfortable bedrooms and beautifully updated bathrooms. First, the powder room, recently updated and featuring stylish wallpaper and terrazzo-style floor. The bedrooms continue the theme of warm hardwood floors and bright windows, including a charming room equipped with an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling built-in closets and drawers for exceptional storage. The main bathroom, nestled between the bedrooms, feels spa-like. Featuring a deep, standalone soaking tub and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The shower features sleek vertical stacked tiles, a built-in corner bench, a rainfall showerhead, and recessed niches for your essentials. Step through the dining room's sliding doors and onto a spacious, elevated wood deck the ultimate spot for outdoor dining, and weekend barbecues. The deck overlooks a low-maintenance, fully fenced backyard. Tucked into the corner of the yard is a standout feature: a detached, modern backyard studio. The interior is beautifully finished, lined with warm plywood paneling and hardwood floors. Complete with high clerestory windows that pull in natural light, and a built-in loft platform. This highly versatile bonus space is absolutely perfect for a quiet home office, creative art studio, or a private guest den. This location has the perfect blend of peaceful neighborhood feel with quick, convenient access to everything you need. It's just blocks from the El Cerrito Plaza BART station, making commuting to San Francisco, Oakland, or Berkeley incredibly easy. You are right near El Cerrito Plaza with Trader Joe's and Lucky Grocery, and just a 5 minute drive from a great mix of local cafes and restaurants on Solano Ave. If you love the outdoors, the scenic trails of the El Cerrito Hillside Natural Area and the paved Ohlone Greenway are right nearby for walking, running, or cycling.
