Property Description

This enchanting El Cerrito garden cottage, nestled in the sought-after Fat Apple's neighborhood, offers a whimsical retreat close to everything. Community amenities under a mile away include El Cerrito BART, Colusa Circle and Sunday farmers' market, Cerrito Vista Park, and the Community & Swimming Center, to name just a few. From the sidewalk, you enter the garden through a wooden gate, and immediately you're greeted by rambling soft yellow roses and flowering wisteria vines. The covered porch provides a peaceful transition from the street into the tranquil home. Windows with views to the garden can be found in every room. The gracious living room and dining room are generously sized to comfortably gather with friends and family. A sweet vintage-tiled kitchen has direct access to the back porch and meandering garden. Two light-filled bedrooms down the hallway and charming original tiles in the bathroom add to the enchanting character of the home. The primary bedroom has a large garden window connecting the room to the idyllic backyard. Just through the kitchen door on your way to the garden, you can't miss the detached garden cottage, with 2 window-filled walls and a fireplace; it's the perfect spot for art or play, come rain or shine. This bonus space invites your imagination.
