WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS HOUSE?

THE HOUSE: Wow! What a surprise awaits behind a double garage, gate, and front patio, hidden from the already quiet street in front! Walk in the front door and your eyes will immediately be drawn to the large picture window at the end of the living room overlooking the beautifully landscaped back yard and patio to a fabulous north Bay view. Oversized 7,000 s.f. lot, and lots of living space with a family room that could easily be converted to a 3rd bedroom - already has a closet and needs only a door or wall to close it off.

THE LOCATION: Residents love their city. El Cerrito is undergoing a renaissance: Parks, a brand new El Cerrito High School under construction, the newly renovated El Cerrito Plaza with Trader Joe's and many other fine stores, El Cerrito Del Norte BART station, El Cerrito Natural Foods Grocery, Fat Apple's Restaurant and Bakery, the newly opened Peet's Coffee, and the El Cerrito Community Center with the new swim center. Minutes by car or public transportation to Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco.
