Elegantly updated, this friendly El Cerrito gem blends timeless charm with modern sophistication. Much more than a typical 2BR home- lots of space and extras! A stunning rear addition bathes the open Great Room in natural light, highlighting vaulted ceilings, sleek hardwood floors, and a stylish eat-in kitchen with quartzite counters, maple cabinets, and a Heath tile backsplash. The expansive kitchen, dining, and family room flow effortlessly to a sunlit deck and lovely lush yard with trees, flowers and a lawn-perfect for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing. The front living room preserves its old-world charm, offering a cozy retreat. Two bedrooms share a refreshed vintage bath - a sweet front BR refuge, and the primary suite is spacious and airy, with generous closets, and in-room laundry. Need an office or more space? You got it! A detached, semi-finished garage-turned- hobby studio adds versatility. With a spacious lot, there's exciting potential for expansion or an ADU (buyer to verify). Ideally located near shops, dining, and BART. Open Houses: 3/8 & 3/9, 2-4 PM.
