Property Description

Welcome to this charming move-in-ready home tucked away in a desirable neighborhood in El Cerrito. A cactus garden greets you in the front yard. Inside, the sun-filled living room features a bay window and classic red brick fireplace, seamlessly connected to the dining room for a warm and inviting flow. The updated kitchen and bathroom, highlighted by calming aqua tones, add a touch of modern comfort. Each bedroom has its own appeal: one with generous storage, and the other with sliding glass doors that open directly to the backyard, bringing in abundant natural light and easy indoor-outdoor living. The backyard offers a private retreat with a mature shade tree, an olive tree, and planters for growing vegetables — plus plenty of space to add a deck. Thoughtful upgrades include: air conditioning (2017), owned solar panels (2020), on-demand water heater (2020), Sewer Lateral Compliant (2022), kitchen and bathroom updates (2023–2024), and Earthquake Brace + Bolt seismic retrofit (2025). All this on a quiet street within walking distance to Harding Elementary, El Cerrito High School, BART, El Cerrito Plaza (Trader Joe’s, Starbucks), and the cafés and restaurants of Solano Avenue. Pools, tennis courts, and the Ohlone Greenway trail are also nearby for outdoor enjoyment.
