Charm greets you the moment you step inside. The main level features an open living and dining area that flows easily into a well-appointed kitchen with everything you need: a Thermador range, generous storage and pantry space - and things you don't need but you will love: open shelving, a sweet built-in coffee station and a lovely window planter with colorful flowers (or an herb garden). Two sunny bedrooms and one bath sit just a few steps up. Downstairs, French doors from the family room open directly to the backyard. The current owners used this space as a sunny primary bedroom, but it works just as well as a guest room, office, or relaxed hangout space. A half bath completes this space.  The backyard is awesome: raised veggie beds, a mature orange tree, lush green grass, and plenty of room for both dining and lounging - and remarkably private. There's also ADU potential for those thinking about future possibilities.  The heated basement offers flexible bonus space for a studio, office, or creative retreat. Interior access from the usable garage adds everyday convenience.  Tucked in in the Richmond Annex, everything is closer than you think. Commute from BART, have easy access to the freeway, or take a stroll to the El Cerrito Natural Grocery.
