New Price! Tucked away in the heart of the desirable El Cerrito community, this charming single-level 3BR/2BA home offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience. Set on a peaceful, level lot in a well-maintained neighborhood just east of Talmadge and west of SDSU, the home welcomes you with professionally designed drought-tolerant landscaping in both the front and back yards, offering beauty, sustainability, and low-maintenance appeal from the moment you arrive. Step inside to discover refinished rich oak hardwood floors and a spacious, light-filled living + dining area with a cozy fireplace and generous southern sunlight. The refreshing kitchen includes a cheerful bay window overlooking a tranquil backyard retreat—complete with a shady pergola, brick patio, and ample space for year-round barbecues, gardening, or hammock lounging. The drought tolerant foliage and automatic irrigation system makes it all easy to care for, so you can enjoy more and maintain less. At the rear of the home, a generous family room offers its own fireplace, private exterior entrance, and adjacent full bathroom. With flexible potential as a fourth bedroom, guest space, family room, play area, or home office, this bonus room adapts seamlessly to your needs. Accessible from both the kitchen and dining room, the brick-paved patio extends toward a gate that borders the driveway, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Just beyond, a long driveway leads to a detached two-car garage— ideal for anyone dreaming of a dedicated studio/office space, creative workspace, or functional retreat. Recent updates offer peace of mind and comfort, including a 2018 full roof replacement with added insulation, upgraded furnace and ducting, a newer water heater, updated electrical panel and outlets, refinished hardwood floors, and a newer washer and dryer. With quick access to SDSU, Grossmont, shopping, Balboa Park, and major San Diego freeways, you’re central to everything, yet tucked into a quiet, established neighborhood that feels worlds away. Surrounded by birdsongs and warm-hearted neighbors, this home sits on a street known for its sense of connection—where people wave hello, gather for potlucks and parades, and host community get-togethers. It's a true sanctuary for those who want more than just a house—it’s a place to belong. A must-see for buyers seeking charm, flexibility, and community in one of San Diego’s best-kept residential gems.
