Description
Set on a cul-de-sac right in the heart of it all, this sweet, well-maintained single-family home is just blocks from BART, near coffee, restaurants, shops, the movie theater and the farmers market, with easy access to I-80 and I-580. This exceptionally convenient location (Walk Score® 94) means less time getting there and more time enjoying all the area has to offer. There's plenty to appreciate at home, too. Real wood floors add warmth throughout, while the kitchen blends vintage character with modern functionality and overlooks the garden, with a view of what's growing and what might be ready to pick for your next meal. Significant system upgrades include 200-amp electrical service and updated wiring, ductless mini-split heating and air conditioning, and an on-demand water heater. The fenced garden is part outdoor retreat, part urban farm, inviting you to dine, entertain and kick back. Native milkweed attracts monarch butterflies, while thornless blackberries, lemons, rhubarb, herbs and other edible plantings make the garden both lovely and productive. There is also potential for future expansion or an ADU (buyer to verify). A long driveway provides generous off-street parking and a 220V outlet ready for a Level 2 EV charger. The detached garage has been repurposed into a versatile bonus space, for your maker's studio, home office or gym. Nearby El Cerrito Plaza offers Trader Joe's and farmers markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The Cerrito Theater, 99 Ranch Market, El Cerrito Natural Grocery, and the shops and restaurants of Solano Avenue are also close at hand. Take in the sweeping Golden Gate views from Point Isabel, explore the San Francisco Bay Trail, or refine your technique at Bridges Rock Gym. Everyday essentials, including the post office, Pastime Hardware and the El Cerrito Library, are just blocks away. Daily life here is easy and connected, and the location is an ideal jumping-off point for wider adventures. Along with all this convenience, you get the privacy of a single-family home, an established garden, room to grow and no HOA rules or fees. Don't miss this one!
