4 Carmel El Cerrito, CA 94530

Wander down a bamboo-shaded path, take two shallow steps up, and open the front door to an amazingly spacious living room with beautiful wood paneling, a vaulted ceiling, a large raised hearth for lounging by the fire, period light fixtures, and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the new back deck and Cerrito Creek -- the historic boundary between Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. A large bright dining room opens to the living room. Beyond it, find the remodeled kitchen with a stainless appliances and a laundry closet. The large primary bedroom has storage galore and a spruced-up ensuite bathroom. A second bedroom and refreshed bathroom complete the interior. Just off the carport is a workshop that could be transformed into a home office, art studio or teenage hang-out. Half a block to Albany's Memorial Park & Pools, three to Solano Avenue or the Kensington Circle Farmers' Market, less than a mile to the El Cerrito BART station, and five short blocks to Transbay buses on Colusa Ave.
