Seller Agent Comments: Nestled into the El Cerrito hills, this Mid-century home has enormous potential! Set down from the street, this home features a two car garage, front patio, large living room dining room combination, three generously sized bedrooms upstairs, two bathrooms, and an interior staircase to the downstairs that has been blocked off. The lower level has its own entry, a deck looking out onto the large yard, and a large living room, kitchen (not warranted), bedroom and bathroom. The view of the Bay is lovely (and if the neighbors trim their trees – could be even bigger). Lots of work to do, but the location is great and the house is inviting. With its highly sought after Mid-century style combined with some love and care, this house would be stunning. Close to transportation on Arlington, with BART and other services nearby, this property is terrific!
