230 Carmel Ave, El Cerrito, CA 94530

Enchanting 2 bed/1 bath (w/ bonus room and bath) split level, full of charm and sunlight. First time on the market in 30+ years and ready for your upgrades, it has that indescribable feeling of a good flow—of being at home. Refinished hardwood floors, freshly painted inside and out, and more special touches: a porthole window, entry coat closet, wall niche, cedar-lined hall closet, cozy living room and formal dining room, and bay view from W. bedroom. The eat-in-kitchen, with corner windows, looks out to a gracious, leafy maple adorning a large backyard. This is the place for grilling and chilling, to go garden crazy or low-maintenance lazy. Perhaps an ADU for you? The attached garage is convenient for a car, storage and laundry. Top level offers 2 sunny bedrooms and a bath; and on the lower level, a pine-paneled bonus room and bathroom--your third bedroom, home office, or guest quarters. This friendly neighborhood, with an 80 Walk Score, is close to schools, parks, shops and restaurants, 2 Farmer’s markets, BART, Transbay bus stop, and easy freeway access. You're home, baby!
