Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1939, the home is in well-maintained, move-in ready condition. It features a recently updated bathroom with modern vertical tiling and a 'refreshed' kitchen. The interior shows well with refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint, and the sewer lateral is already compliant. It falls into the 'Good' category as the kitchen appears to be a cosmetic refresh rather than a full down-to-the-studs modern renovation, and the overall structure is over 80 years old.
The property features an expansive, well-curated backyard with raised garden beds, a vine-covered pergola, and mature fruit trees, offering a rare and private retreat for gardening and outdoor entertaining.
A versatile downstairs bonus room provides essential flexibility for a home office, studio, or guest space, significantly increasing the functional utility of the 1,242 square foot floor plan.
The inclusion of both a two-car garage and a two-car driveway is a premium feature for this neighborhood, providing ample off-street parking and storage solutions that are often difficult to find in older homes.
With only one bathroom available for the entire residence, the property may face functional limitations for families or guests, which could impact its competitive positioning at this price point.
The downstairs bonus room lacks verification regarding its status as legally habitable space, placing the burden of investigation and potential permitting risks on the buyer.
This two-bedroom, one-bath El Cerrito home offers comfortable living with hardwood floors throughout, an updated bathroom, and a refreshed kitchen. A bonus room downstairs adds extra flexibility, making an ideal office, guest space, or studio.* The standout feature is the beautiful, very large backyard—complete with raised bed gardens, a vine-covered pergola for shady outdoor dining, multiple mature fruit trees, and blueberry bushes. It's a true gardener's retreat with plenty of room to grow your own produce, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors year-round. Additional highlights include a two-car garage and a two-car driveway, offering ample parking and storage. Sewer lateral compliant. Located just a short distance from El Cerrito's parks and the Kensington Circle, the home offers convenient access to BART, shopping, and major routes to Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco. *Buyer to verify use of space. Neither seller nor listing agent has investigated or verified the accuracy of any of these sources of information nor that these spaces are or may be made into legally habitable spaces. Buyer must conduct their own investigation with the city and appropriate professionals and rely solely on that investigation.
