Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac in the El Cerrito hills, this sweet 3 bedroom, 1 bath home awaits its new owners. With an updated kitchen and bathroom, three cozy and light-filled bedrooms, warmly-hued hardwood floors, and great flow, it's very easy to feel at home. The kitchen leads to a private patio with a view, and then to a wonderful surprise...the studio.* Originally designed as a recreation room with a full bathroom (on public record), open beam ceiling, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering a sweeping view of the Bay, this space was thoughtfully transformed into a stand-alone studio with updated flooring, an electric fireplace with beautiful custom mantel, plus heating and cooling. A mature and majestic Yucca serves as a dramatic backdrop to the private, low-maintenance, and fenced backyard, which is accessed via steps down from the patio. This inviting property is minutes from local schools, BART, El Cerrito Plaza, the El Cerrito Community/Swim Center, bus lines, and I-80.
