It's a true gardener's retreat with plenty of room to grow your own produce, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors year-round. Additional highlights include a two-car garage and a two-car driveway, offering ample parking and storage. Sewer lateral compliant. Located just a short distance from El Cerrito's parks and the Kensington Circle, the home offers convenient access to BART, shopping, and major routes to Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco. *Buyer to verify use of space.
