A charming single-level bungalow conveniently located in El Cerrito’s St. Jerome’s neighborhood, this three plus bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath beauty exudes an effortless elegance all its own. Lined in oak hardwoods and appointed with ample windows that flood the luminous space with natural light, the 1,412-square foot home reveals a hydrangea-dotted back yard with turf lawn and play area on Ipe deck, along with a pair of paver patios that anchor each end of the space.  

From the street, a cheery front yard has been freshly landscaped with drought-resistant greenery. A brick walk welcomes guests, ushering them across the threshold into a spacious living room warmed by a wood burning fireplace. Illuminated by a custom pendant fixture and decked in statement making wallpaper, a gracious dining room sets the stage for dinner parties. Nearby, a bright sun room cues up a cozy corner for Sunday crosswords or remote work come Monday morning.

In the kitchen you’ll find quartz counters and stainless-steel appliances, along with a quaint breakfast nook. Perfect for a burgeoning family, this gracious home is equipped with a trio of bedrooms, updated bath with marble shower and hexagonal tile flooring, and an ensuite powder room off the primary bedroom. Recently updated with a newer roof and solar panels (owned), this El Cerrito gem affords ample storage space and off-street parking.

Located just steps from the fresh produce that abounds at the weekly Kensington Farmer’s Market, 129 San Carlos Avenue is in close proximity to Solano Avenue and El Cerrito Plaza’s shops, grocers, and eateries along with El Cerrito BART for commuter convenience.
