This MacGregor home has all the classic charm, with the iconic large living room window, the arched entryways, split level design, and the original Mediterranean craftsmanship. Recently refreshed, the home features beautifully refinished hardwood floors downstairs, new waterproof laminate floors upstairs, fresh interior paint, updated light fixtures and chandeliers, and new refrigerator and stove. Sunlit bedrooms provide views of Albany Hill, with peek-a-boo views of the bay from upstairs. A rare gem in El Cerrito, this home boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Nestled in a prime location, nearly everything is within walking distance - just a few blocks from El Cerrito Plaza, Trader Joes, and the BART station. Local schools are also just a short stroll away and Harding Park is around the corner! A quick 2-3 minute drive to Fat Apples and the shops and restaurants along Solano Avenue. The separate laundry room leads out to a spacious backyard with mature apple trees and a patio perfect for entertaining.
