Perched in the El Cerrito Hills on a quiet, peaceful street, this light-filled home offers sweeping views, beautiful outdoor spaces, owned solar, and incredible flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, the setting feels wonderfully private and serene, while still offering convenient access to everything El Cerrito has to offer. The main level features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a galley kitchen, beautiful hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and expansive windows that showcase the surrounding views. Step onto the deck off the primary bedroom and take in the breathtaking outlook with your morning coffee. Downstairs, a spacious and completely renovated one-bedroom, one-bath living space offers a fresh, modern aesthetic, including a beautifully remodeled kitchen. With its own private exterior entrance, the lower level can function independently from the main home. At approximately 1,300 square feet*, there is plenty of room and flexibility for additional bedrooms, bathrooms, a home office, gym, or other uses. An interior staircase connects the two levels and can be locked, allowing the spaces to function together or separately. Outside, the beautiful backyard offers multiple areas for relaxing, entertaining, gardening, and enjoying the peaceful natural setting. Mature plum, pear, apple, persimmon, and kiwi trees add to the garden-like atmosphere, while a tranquil creek running through the backyard creates an unexpected sense of serenity. Live as one expansive single-family residence or enjoy the flexibility of two separate living spaces. Create a comfortable multi-generational arrangement, live on one level while renting the other, or utilize the property as an income-producing rental. With so many possibilities, this versatile floor plan offers the rare ability to evolve along with your needs. *Square footage not guaranteed.
