Discover the possibilities in this charming 1927 home, nestled in a desirable El Cerrito neighborhood. This home offers the freedom of single-family living on the best block. Set back from the street but still surrounded by community, 1/2 mile to BART, and close enough to schools, shops, cafes, library, community center, EC Plaza and restaurants to ditch the car. Step into this home and be greeted by a wood trimmed entry with a large coat closet and a built-in storage-bench. Enter the large living room with vaulted ceiling and warm wood-trim - ideal for playing with the kids, movie nights, gatherings, or quietly reading. Just beyond is the eat-in kitchen which opens to a large private deck, with a peekaboo view of the bay, for enjoying your morning coffee or backyard BBQs. One bedroom to lay your head after a long day and one bath. The bonus room could be a nursery, home office, craft or yoga room. Pick an apple, lemon, or fig from the expansive front yard with loads of potential - space for gardening, play and lounging. Additional features: electric car charger, long multi-car driveway, detached garage, and laundry room. Great for first-time buyers, small families, downsizers, commuters, condo alternative, or as a pied-a-terre. Open Thursday 11/5 9:30-Noon and Sunday 11/8 2-4p.
