Single-level, sunlit charm meets effortless functionality in this beautifully updated residence, ideally located near the Albany border and just across from El Cerrito High. Filled with natural light from multiple skylights, the home features hardwood floors and two cozy fireplaces that anchor the living spaces. The versatile layout offers three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a soaking tub and a second bath featuring a walk-in shower and updated vanity. At the heart of the home, the fresh kitchen shines with stone countertops and new stainless steel appliances. Indoor-outdoor flow leads from the expansive family room to a large, private backyard oasis. Here, a rear deck for dining and a patio for lounging are surrounded by several mature fruit trees, creating a peaceful retreat for relaxation or play. A long driveway and garage provide ample off-street parking. Approximately half a mile to El Cerrito Plaza BART, shops and restaurants, and moments away from local amenities, parks, and transportation.
