Meet the little house that feels like a cabin and does big things on the best street in El Cerrito. Step into this calming one-bedroom where you are in the center of it all and yet feel like you are in the woods. With 700+ square feet, this home has room to spread your wings while still feeling manageable. This home has everything: the entry features a large coat closet and a built-in storage-bench to rest while you remove your shoes and shed your cares. The large, wood-trimmed living room is perfect for movie nights, gathering with loved ones, or quietly reading a book. The eat-in kitchen opens to the living room as well as to a large private rear deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee, backyard BBQs or entertain family and friends. The bonus room off the kitchen is a nice flexible space that can be used as a home office, craft studio, or "I'll figure it out later" room. One ample bedroom to lay your head after a long day and one bathroom! With an apple tree, a lemon tree, and the best fig tree ever, the large tiered front yard offers space for gardening, lounging, or chatting with neighbors. Additional features include a long multi-car driveway, a detached garage, and a separate laundry room. Located one half mile from BART, San Francisco, Berkeley, and more are a train ride away. Schools, shops, cafes, and restaurants are all close enough to ditch the car. Perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, commuters who want a home base near public transportation, or for someone who wants a pied-a-terre. Open Sunday 10/4 2-4p & Thursday 10/8 9:30a-Noon.

This 1941 updated bungalow delivers a spacious two-bedroom main house, a fantastic permitted 2023 ADU, and flexibility that keeps on giving. Solid construction details include graceful archways, random-plank wood floors in the living room, and touches of mosaic artistry from the former owner. The main house has two bedrooms and one bath. A generous formal dining room opens to the yard and a spacious kitchen suited to everyday cooking or entertaining. A park-like backyard, ample patio and deck space, and direct outdoor access from all three bedrooms (house and ADU) make indoor-outdoor living easy. One can easily imagine a large gathering or garden party in the surrounding yard. Exceptional stewardship over the years has resulted in thoughtful modern updates. The home has had major improvements, including foundation strengthening and piers, and updated electrical. The timeless kitchen was updated with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and new tile flooring. Refinished floors and a newly painted interior keep the house feeling fresh and inviting. The 2023-built cottage-style ADU presents in brand-new condition. It includes a full kitchen, full bath, and the ability to curtain off a separate bedroom. Its modern construction includes a mini-split heat pump for energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning, making it an especially flexible space for rental income, visiting guests, or multigenerational living. The property also offers abundant off-street parking, with a long driveway and a substantial concrete pad on both sides of the house that provides additional patio space to entertain. This space could also accommodate additional storage sheds without intrusion into the beautiful backyard. The flexibility of a permitted ADU is like Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree.” It can change and grow with its owners. It can make first-time homeownership more affordable, because rental income from the ADU can help with the mortgage payments. That fresh start can grow into a dream space for the future. Imagine taking back the space as your own studio or home office. Or welcome visiting friends without putting them under your roof. Parents or grandparents can have their own nearby household. It can then give adult children a safety net or a place to launch. It can even be a comfortable home for an on-site caregiver. Conveniently located near El Cerrito Plaza, BART, shopping, and dining.
