Some homes just have it. Built in 1931 and lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 35 years, this Spanish Revival in El Cerrito offers nearly 2,000 square feet of pure charm. The showstopping living room sets the tone with soaring wood-beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors, a beautiful fireplace and an oversized arched window. Gorgeous architectural details throughout. The spacious kitchen was remodeled in 2020, and offers abundant cabinetry and workspace. While the character of this home has been carefully preserved, much of the work behind the scenes has already been done. Owned solar, central HVAC, plumbing replaced including sewer line, new exterior stucco completed in 2025, newer tile roof, and a beautiful custom iron gate. A private backyard offers plenty of room to dine, gather and enjoy the San Diego sunshine, while the detached garage plus bonus workshop add even more flexibility. Full of warmth, history and details you simply don't find in newer homes, this is a truly special piece of San Diego and the kind of home that doesn't hit the market often.
