Sun-drenched and stylish, this home hits all the right notes—bold, bright, and beautifully refreshed. From the moment you enter, sunlight fills the spacious living area, leading to an updated kitchen stocked with all the storage you could ask for. Thoughtful updates shine throughout, including designer light fixtures in each of the three bedrooms and 1.5 remodeled baths. Out back, the yard is ready for your next great idea—lazy Sundays, garden parties, or a play space. The detached garage is waiting to be whatever you need—storage, a workshop, or your dream art studio.* Best of all, you’re nearly two blocks from everything—Centennial Park, the Ohlone Greenway, legendary Arhoolie Records, indie coffee, a cozy wine bar, groceries, and the library. If you’re looking for a central El Cerrito home that immerses you in the best of community life, this one’s a must-see. *Buyer is advised to conduct their own investigation with appropriate professionals and verify with the city prior to proceeding with the purchase, and to rely solely on their own investigation.
