Welcome to this sweet El Cerrito home! Filled with natural light, this inviting 2 bedroom, 1 bath home features a bright and airy living room and dining area, an updated kitchen, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, and new light fixtures throughout.Thoughtful updates by the current owners add modern comfort while preserving the home's timeless charm, and a new roof installed in 2024 offers added peace of mind. Out back, you'll find a spacious, level backyard where a majestic magnolia tree provides welcome shade over the patio, perfect for weekend barbecues, gardening, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. A detached shed offers valuable extra storage and flexible space for creative use. You'll love the convenient location near BART and just moments from neighborhood favorites like Fat Apple's, Benchmark Pizzeria, El Cerrito Natural Grocery Annex, and more, making it easy to enjoy everything this vibrant community has to offer.
I grew up in San Francisco and have called the East Bay home since 2007. Over the years, I’ve renovated two of my personal homes, helped sellers transform their properties to get top...
dollar, and built my own investment portfolio. Real estate isn’t just my career—it’s my passion. I’m 100% committed to my clients, no matter how long it takes to find the home they’ll love. With deep local knowledge, a strong work ethic, and hands-on expertise, I guide buyers and sellers every step of the way. Let’s make your real estate goals happen together!
Midtown, located between San Pablo Avenue and Arlington Boulevard, is a residential and commercial El Cerrito neighborhood with hillside streets and a walkable strip of local storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the San Pablo Avenue corridor near El Cerrito Plaza, where taquerias, small groceries, and service counters keep the sidewalks in motion. Community pillars include El Cerrito Plaza, the El Cerrito Branch Library, and the Cerrito Theater. Mid-century apartments and compact bungalows mix with newer infill along the flatter blocks. A short climb east brings bay-view overlooks and quieter cul-de-sacs. Transit and errands cluster near the plaza, while pocket parks and school grounds break up the grid.
