About 7553 Stockton Ave.
Possibilities as endless as the views! This unique property has so much to offer. Set on an extra-deep, quarter-acre+ lot (per public record), the main house features a 2-bed/1-bath unit upstairs and a 1-bed/1-bath unit below.* An adjacent structure includes two rooms, a full bath, shared laundry, and a workshop.* Cross a charming bridge over a seasonal stream to reach “Grandpa's hideaway”—a vintage retreat with a 1950s wet bar.* The lot extends to the top of the hill, where you’ll enjoy stunning, private bridge-to-bridge Bay views. Ideally perched to capture panoramic views while staying close to everything El Cerrito offers—schools, parks, shops, public transit, the Community Center, and Public Pool—ditch the car! Lovingly maintained by one family for nearly 100 years, 7553 Stockton was one of the neighborhood’s original homes. Recent updates include double-pane windows, compliant sewer lateral, upgraded electrical, and a complete foundation upgrade in 2022—including partial replacement, drainage, and seismic improvements. Ideal for multigenerational living, a live/work setup, or even an urban farm—this rare property is a blank canvas for a new generation of dreamers! *Bed/bath count differs. *Buyer to investigate.
