Property Description

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, community roots, and enduring appeal. Properties like this with land, separation, and character are what seasoned investors quietly seek and rarely find. This is not just a purchase. It's a project with purpose, a home with history, and a future built on smart ownership.
