LOCATION, LOCATION! Arguably one of the most desirable streets in El Cerrito. Pride of ownership is evident throughout this charming 3 bed, 1 & 1/2 bath property. Refinished original quarter-sawn hardwood oak floors & original three-panel wood doors, this turn-key home features custom details & an abundance of natural light. Fresh paint inside & out. Remodeled chef-designed gourmet kitchen welcomes with quartz & butcher block counters, professional blue star range, newer refrigerator w/ cocktail ice-maker, pull-out shelving & soft-close hinges, breakfast seating at the peninsula & a large pantry. Recently upgraded bathroom has three deluxe interior-mirrored medicine cabinets, decorative tile & a new cast-iron tub. Dual-pane windows & whole-house fan help keep home cool. 40 yr roof (2003). Long driveway, perfect for secure RV or boat parking. A portion of the two car garage is a finished room w/ a window & cedar closet - perfect for private office, gym or gaming cave. Behind the garage is a well-lit, 220-powered outdoor covered shop that was built as a ceramics studio, but can handle whatever you imagine; potting shed, makers space, hot tub gazebo, gym, etc. Two back sliding doors lead out to private backyard - a lush & water-wise retreat designed for year-round pleasure. Spacious covered patio w/ cool misting system & a relaxing cedar sauna is surrounded by mature bougainvillea, fragrant jasmine, wisteria & honeysuckle. Enjoy fresh fruit from 6 mature trees, including several varieties of guava, pomegranate & loquat+ an established 20 year old grape vine. VA/FHA welcome! First time on the market in a quarter century. Wonderful pocket neighborhood of El Cerrito offering cohesive community spirit, monthly mixers, a facebook page & community book-share boxes. The West & East Overlook loop is peaceful & has low through traffic, yet very close to shopping & eateries. This unique property won't last long and must be seen to be appreciated.
