Property Description

First time on the market in 65 years! This cutie pie single-level 2 bed/1.5 bath was built by the sellers’ grandparents. One remembers attending El Cerrito High and eating Grandma’s lunch of freshly-picked green beans and a T-bone steak. And hearing the old timers play poker, their raucous bantering over penny bets. Today, this house will win you over with its Wedgewood stove set amongst wood cabinets in the large kitchen—Grandma fit a couch, a recliner and a TV in there! What will you do with all that space? You’ll love the pink-tiled bathroom, and the large living and dining room with cozy fireplace and a picture window facing the leafy street where kids walk to school half a block away. The two bedrooms look out onto the backyard, and both have ample closet space; and the laundry area with half bath is big enough for an office nook. The large flat backyard is waiting for your dreamscape. In Grandma’s time it was one huge garden. Maybe you want a few planter beds, space to play, a dog run, or even an ADU. It’s all possible. The super-long driveway and attached garage offer space for several cars, a workshop, or storage. This coveted location is close to great schools, BART, Trader Joe’s, 2 Farmer’s Markets, restaurants, parks, and easy freeway access. This one is a winning bet!
