About this Property
Tucked into one of El Cerrito's most established and quietly cherished neighborhoods, this rare two-home property on a generous side lot offers something that almost never comes along anymore: authentic history paired with real upside. The original front cottage, built in 1912 by families who still remain in the neighborhood, has a warmth and character you simply cannot recreate today. It features one bedroom and one-and-a-half baths, while the detached rear home offers a one-bedroom, one-bath retreat with its own large private yard perfect for extended family, rental income, or creative live-work possibilities. Each home enjoys its own spacious and private outdoor area, creating a true sense of separation and livability rarely found in multi-unit properties. Between the two sits the original garage, now an ideal hub for tools, projects, or a workshop the heartbeat of a DIY dream. This is a property for those who understand value creation. Whether you envision living in one while thoughtfully renovating the other, creating a long-term income property, a live-work experience or designing a multi-generational compound, the framework is already here you bring the vision. El Cerrito continues to be one of the East Bay's most stable and equity-rich markets, prized for its location,
