About this home
Some homes lead with curb appeal. Others surprise and delight once you're inside. This house does both, while leaving room for your own finishing touches. Step into a lovingly cared-for 1939 bungalow with surprisingly grand details inside: original hardwood floors, a stately coved ceiling, and built-ins ready for your favorite books. An updated kitchen and bath complement the timeless details, alongside two nicely sized bedrooms. Out front, a generous yard invites a hello to neighbors, old and new. In the back, picture fresh herbs, dinner outdoors, and friends pulling up an extra chair. The flat lot makes both yards extensions of the home, with space to gather and enjoy a quiet afternoon. Set toward the rear of the property, a detached studio* offers a place to close the door and focus or spread out a creative project. Tucked into one of El Cerrito's most beloved neighborhoods, just blocks from Fairmount and Solano Avenue's restaurants, cafes, and local shops, this is a home where staying in and heading out hold equal appeal. *buyer to verify use of space
