This exceptional home sits on a generous lot with both a large, tree-shaded backyard and a bonus side yard offering endless potential for outdoor living, gardening, or future expansion. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features a brand-new chef-inspired kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large peninsula with gas range perfect for casual dining and entertaining, and a sink overlooking the lush backyard. The bright, open living room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace and flows into a sunlit dining area, all warmed by new wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting, and dual-pane windows. Two spacious bedrooms thoughtfully separated for privacy, one facing the front and one overlooking the backyard and a updated bathroom with modern finishes complete the interior. One car garage adds convenient storage and parking. New roof, sewer lateral, electrical wiring and panel, and fresh interior and exterior paint. A rare turnkey opportunity in a prime Bay Area location. Beautifully reimagined and move-in ready in a highly desirable, walkable El Cerrito neighborhood and minutes to BART, El Cerrito Plaza, parks, and the Ohlone Greenway, with easy access to San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley.
