Adorable light-filled cottage with original charm! Come make your home ownership dreams come true. Inspired to create a vegetable garden in the large backyard? Or plant more fruit trees to enjoy along with the mature apricot tree? There’s plenty of room to do both! Move right into your own home with refreshed kitchen and bathroom, refinished hardwood floors, new carpeting in one bedroom, new lighting fixtures, and freshly painted interior. Homeownership is within reach in this sweet condo-alternative single-family home located in El Sobrante, a town surrounded by hills and views. Where there are hills, there are trails! Bonita Gate trailhead is less than a mile from the front door, giving you access to Wildcat Canyon’s upper entrance. At the same time, this sweet 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow is conveniently located just up the street from the San Pablo Dam Road commercial district and freeway access. Wonderful opportunity to own a single-family home in a convenient and welcoming location!

Planned Unit District
A large-scale integrated development or a general plan special area of concern provides an opportunity for, and requires cohesive design when flexible regulations are applied; whereas the application of conventional regulation, designed primarily for individual lot development, to a large-scale development or special area may create a monotonous and inappropriate neighborhood. The planned unit district is intended to allow diversification in the relationship of various uses, buildings, structures, lot sizes and open space while insuring substantial compliance with the general plan and the intent of the county code in requiring adequate standards necessary to satisfy the requirements of the public health, safety and general welfare. These standards shall be observed without unduly inhibiting the advantages of large-scale site or special area planning.
