There's far more house here than the classic façade suggests. The living room opens up with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, flowing into the dining area over hardwood floors that continue throughout the bedrooms. The kitchen has been refreshed with new countertops.* Two bedrooms sit forward in true bungalow fashion, sharing a centrally placed bath. Toward the rear, an oversized bedroom becomes a private retreat of its own — a second fireplace, a generous closet, and an adjoining sitting area that adapts easily to a home office, reading nook, or dressing room. From there, the home continues to open up. The spacious family room with adjoining bathroom is the kind of square footage that lets you decide what your home should be — media room, playroom, studio, gathering space — with direct access to the backyard. Outside, you'll find attached storage plus a detached shed/workshop for projects, hobbies, or serious garden ambitions.** A deep attached one-car garage with laundry rounds it out. Great location in El Cerrito near del Norte BART sends you to Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco without touching the freeway, and the Ohlone Greenway runs alongside it — a car-free path for morning walks and weekend rides. Safeway covers the weekly shop just minutes away, and San Pablo Avenue delivers some of the East Bay's most rewarding casual dining, from the Korean tofu house at Gangnam Tofu to Peruvian at El Mono. Rare square footage, room to spread out, a floor plan flexible enough to grow and change with you, and a location that connects to everything. *Buyer to investigate.
