About this House

307 Carmel Avenue is the quintessential 1930's southern El Cerrito bungalow .

The entire interior of this home has been repainted and all the hardwood floors refinished. This home features two bedrooms and one bathroom. It has a spacious, sunny living room with ample windows facing east and south, a wood-burning, brick fireplace, hardwood floors as well as a ‘tube skylight' An arched entry takes you to a formal dining room with east-facing windows, hardwood floors and another ‘tube skylight'. The 2 bedroom are situated at the rear of the house for maximum privacy. They are separated by the single bathroom as was the custom of that day for homes this size. They both face west with windows facing west, south or north depending on the bedroom location. The northwest corner bedroom has access to a spacious deck with steps leading down to the garden as well as a ceiling fan for cooling purposes. The bathroom has original floor tile in an interesting pattern, tiled vanity and tub enclosure and a shower over the tub.

The deck is spacious enough for entertaining, container plants and so on. The rear garden is fully fenced and ‘dog proof'. There is a partial basement useful for storage.

If you're an African American family the students are extremely hurtful towards you. The things that comes out of their mouths are unbelievable. It clear the kids are learning to be racist and mean towards my kids at home. The staff knows about the kids behaviors and little to nothing seems to change. It's gotten so bad the staff started ignoring my kids when they complained about being bullied. There needs to be more education on different cultures and ethics groups at Harding ES.
