    What's special

    Single-car attached garageRefinished original hardwood floorsExtraordinary viewsBar and breakfast nookBrand new trex deck

    Three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms plus a basement/gym, wrap-around deck with unobstructed view of the bay and front and back yards. ~1,600 sq ft. on a tranquil and almost level street in El Cerrito's most sought-after Hills neighborhood bordering with Kensington. Friendly neighbors, many who have lived on this street for decades. The home is mostly at street level with a level-in covered entryway. Yet, immediately upon entry your eyes are drawn to a spectacular bay, city, and 3 bridge view! Zoned for Kensington's (K to 6) highly-rated Hilltop Elementary School. Great parks, the El Cerrito pool, restaurants and freeways/BART/bus-lines access are just down the hill and the library, cafes, hardware, grocery and other stores in Kensington are a little over a mile away, making for an enviable location. Inside the property, all of the appliances are less than 3 years old, including: the refrigerator, oven, hood, aerator, dishwasher, laundry and dryer machines. Other recent upgrades include: brand new Trex deck, rear fiber-cement siding, bathroom vanity/sink, refinished original hardwood floors, interior and exterior paint, water heater, upgraded electrical system, LED light fixtures, and much more. The house has a single-car attached garage, driveway and ample street parking. The Kitchen features a bar and breakfast nook from which you can also enjoy the extraordinary views (and the hummingbirds)! Available November 1st. Application fee: $50 (non-refundable) or up-to-date credit reports made available. Pet: negotiable (with landlords' approval after seeing the pet) with a $600 pet-deposit. No smoking.
