About This Home
Perched in the sought-after El Cerrito Hills, this fixer-upper offers breathtaking panoramic views of the SF Bay, San Francisco skyline, downtown Oakland, and Mount Tamalpais, with coveted Golden Gate views enjoyed from the backyard. It presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking to customize & add value in a premier location. The freshly painted interior provides a bright, inviting backdrop, complemented by refinished oak hardwood floors on the main level. The lower-level features new luxury vinyl plank flooring for a clean, modern look and added durability. A third bedroom was converted years ago into a rumpus room, offering flexible living or entertaining space; a bid is available to convert it back to a bedroom or additional living area if desired. Significant improvements are already in progress, with a new roof and sewer lateral scheduled for installation, helping to reduce future maintenance concerns. Outside, the spacious, level backyard enjoys full afternoon sun and offers outstanding potential for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or future enhancements—all while taking in iconic Bay Area views. With its exceptional location, dramatic vistas & strong upside potential, this property is a rare opportunity to create a custom home and invest in a true view setting.
