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, & 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, & 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 *Furnishings are computer-generated; buyer to verify accuracy/scale
