Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features significant recent updates including a brand-new HVAC system, refinished hardwood floors, and a stylishly updated kitchen with modern appliances. While the home was built in 1941, it has been well-maintained with minimal wear and tear; however, it does not qualify as excellent because some components, such as the bathroom tiling, appear to be older vintage styles rather than a full recent renovation.
The property is ideally situated near El Cerrito Plaza BART and major highways (I-580 and I-80), providing exceptional convenience for Bay Area commuters.
With a brand-new HVAC system, updated kitchen, and compliant sewer lateral, the home offers significant peace of mind and immediate move-in readiness.
