About This Home

As of May 2026

This El Cerrito fixer is a rare chance to add real value in one of the East Bay's most commuter-friendly corridors, one block from BART and priced to reflect the work ahead. The main level offers a bedroom, full bathroom, two living spaces, dining room, and kitchen, giving you the potential to live in the home while building out the second story, which is framed for 4 bedrooms and a full bathroom. Build it out based on your vision and maximize your returns. Outside, the 6,500 sq ft lot offers serious optionality. Zoned RM, the property may support additional development beyond a single unit (buyers to verify). An oversized garage with dedicated workshop space, a separate covered parking area, and an extra-long driveway give you room for storage and ADU potential, a combination that's nearly impossible to find at this price point in the East Bay. Whether you're a seasoned investor or a savvy buyer ready to build equity, this is the kind of project that rewards bold moves.
