Delightful three-bedroom, one-bathroom home on one of El Cerrito’s best blocks! Set on a generous lot along a peaceful street ending in a cul-de-sac, this property offers plenty of flexibility for creating an ADU, cultivating a lush garden, or expanding the home to suit your needs. Only two steps to entry, the sunny living room features a cozy fireplace and flows effortlessly into a welcoming dining area and a thoughtfully updated kitchen. Refinished hardwood floors throughout and built-in cabinetry provide a classic touch. Step outside onto the spacious deck, complete with built-in seating, perfect for relaxing or enjoying outdoor meals.
