623 Clayton Ave

Meet the little house that feels like a cabin and does big things on the best street in El Cerrito. Step into this calming one-bedroom where you are in the center of it all and yet feel like you are in the woods. With 700+ square feet, this home has room to spread your wings while still feeling manageable. This home has everything: the entry features a large coat closet and a built-in storage-bench to rest while you remove your shoes and shed your cares. The large, wood-trimmed living room is perfect for movie nights, gathering with loved ones, or quietly reading a book. The eat-in kitchen opens to the living room as well as to a large private rear deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee, backyard BBQs or entertain family and friends. The bonus room off the kitchen is a nice flexible space that can be used as a home office, craft studio, or "I'll figure it out later" room. One ample bedroom to lay your head after a long day and one bathroom! With an apple tree, a lemon tree, and the best fig tree ever, the large tiered front yard offers space for gardening, lounging, or chatting with neighbors. Additional features include a long multi-car driveway, an electric car charger, a detached garage, and a separate laundry room. Located one half mile from BART, San Francisco, Berkeley, and more are a train ride away. Schools, shops, cafes, and restaurants are all close enough to ditch the car. Perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, commuters who want a home base near public transportation, or for someone who wants a pied-a-terre. Open Sunday 10/18 2-4p.
