Located in El Cerrito's favorite St Jerome neighborhood, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has undergone an extensive $250K+ renovation in 2023. A luxe new kitchen plus two new bathrooms are just the beginning of thoughtful updates, which also include 2023 electrical, plumbing, interior/exterior paint, landscaping, refinished hardwood floors, and sewer lateral. The main level has all of the common spaces: a stylish, to-the-studs remodeled kitchen and an open floor plan living and dining room that flow out to the deck. The upper level has two bedrooms and a bathroom. Downstairs there is a plus room with access to the newly landscaped backyard, a second bathroom, and a garage, which the owner used as an office*. It's a perfect layout for separation of space for entertaining or work at home. This prime location is close to coffee, shops, restaurants, El Cerrito Plaza BART, two farmers' markets, parks and public pools, Ohlone Greenway, Rialto movie theater and more. Don't forget the sub-basement that offers even more storage options. *Buyer to investigate.
