El Cerrito Charm Meets Modern Perfection: Your Next Chapter Starts Here!

Get ready to fall head-over-heels for this adorable 2+ bed, 1 bath bungalow in prime El Cerrito—it’s the perfect launchpad for first-time homebuyers,  the ultimate low-maintenance home for the downsizer looking to age in place, or everyone in between looking for a fabulous home. 

The thoughtful layout includes a hall bath with a skylight and a second entry to the primary bedroom, creating a super-convenient "faux en-suite" feel. Bonus! A flexible third space at the back of the house is ready to become your dedicated home office, inspiring workout room, or cozy guest retreat.*

The hard work is done, thanks to incredible smart upgrades! Enjoy modern living with owned solar panels (complete with a battery backup!), an EV charger, an energy-efficient heat pump for heating and cooling, and beautiful new (2026) and refinished hardwood floors.

The kitchen features gorgeous Heath tile backsplash and durable and handsome quartz countertops, a wall oven with a side swing door, gas cooktop. Easy access to the garage and laundry. 

Outside, you’ll find two fantastic spaces: a front garden perfect for soaking up the sun and socializing with the neighbors, and a wide-open back garden with a mix of sun and shade, giving you the opportunity to grow anything your heart desires. The peaceful soundtrack of the creek just beyond the back fence seals the deal, creating a truly tranquil atmosphere.

Just a short distance away from San Pablo Ave and the retail corridor with everything one needs. Easy access to freeways, El Cerrito BART.

Poinsett is waiting for you to put your stamp on it and start its next, exciting chapter!
