Enjoy views of the El Cerrito hills from this light and bright home sited on a special street in popular Richmond Annex! Super 2 bedroom, 1 bath with gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen has been updated with an open plan, new counters and fixtures, plus a modern convection range for those gourmet cooks! A charming sun-filled dining area connects to the kitchen and living space, making a great layout for gatherings or for separate activities. The two sunny bedrooms overlook the garden or the hills and both have extra generous closets. The bathroom was remodeled by the owners with beautiful tile work and a large tub -shower. The rear garden is spacious and offers many possibilities! It connects with a carport-storage area and driveway to Shasta Ave. Updated systems throughout are substantial, giving the next owner great peace of mind. Newer roof and gutters, newer forced air heating and economical on-demand water heater, quality seismic retrofitting and sub-area sump pump, and the sewer lateral has been replaced. A small building in the rear has great storage and opens to a long driveway accessible from Shasta Ave. The large above ground basement area is perfect for a workshop or perhaps future development? This is a truly convenient Annex location, with a charming neighborhood park just up the street, and nearby excellent shops, restaurants and services. Check the current school assignment to see if El Cerrito schools are available. There is excellent and easy access to Berkeley and Oakland, plus Marin county, or take the Richmond ferry to enjoy a day in the City!
