Delightful three-bedroom, one-bathroom home on one of El Cerrito’s best blocks! Set on a generous lot along a peaceful street ending in a cul-de-sac, this property offers plenty of flexibility for creating an ADU, cultivating a lush garden, or expanding the home to suit your needs. Only two steps to entry, the sunny living room features a cozy fireplace and flows effortlessly into a welcoming dining area and a thoughtfully updated kitchen. Refinished hardwood floors throughout and built-in cabinetry provide a classic touch. Step outside onto the spacious deck, complete with built-in seating, perfect for relaxing or enjoying outdoor meals. Live off the land and enjoy your mature fruit trees and the harvest from your raised vegetable beds. The backyard includes two storage sheds, providing ample space for tools, equipment, or hobbies. Side access to the backyard allows for a separate ADU* entrance. Recent upgrades add significant value, including a newly replaced roof, an efficient solar system, solar tubes for natural light, and an electric vehicle charger. Fantastic location convenient to El Cerrito Plaza BART, Solano Avenue shops and restaurants, Memorial Park, Trader Joe’s, and the Kensington Farmers’ Market. 209 Behrens is your hub for all things great about the East Bay.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
