3 Beds 1,374 Sq.Ft. 0.27 Acres

Description

This unique property has so much to offer its new owners! Set on an extra-deep, over quarter-acre lot (per public record), the main house sits at the front with two bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs, plus a one-bed, one-bath unit below.* An adjacent structure has two rooms plus a full bath on the main level and a shared laundry and workshop below.* Keep traveling back, and you’ll cross a bridge over a sweet seasonal stream. Tucked at the back of the property is “Grandpa's hideaway”, complete with a full 1950s wet bar and vintage decor.* This secluded property spans to the top of the hill, where you have your own private perch to take in the breathtaking bridge-to-bridge views.

Ideally situated just high enough up the hill to capture the impressive Bay views while still being easily accessible to all the amenities that make El Cerrito one of the Bay's most desirable cities. Ditch the car! You’ll be minutes from schools, shopping, parks, public transportation, and coveted local resources such as the El Cerrito Community Center and Public Pool.

7553 Stockton was one of the first homes in the neighborhood and was lovingly maintained by the same family for nearly 100 years. Recent improvements include double-pane windows and an updated electrical system, plus new flooring (2022), and an updated kitchenette in the downstairs unit. The possibilities here are endless. Whether it be a spot for multigenerational living, an ideal living + home-office set-up, an opportunity to design your own space, or your very own urban farm, this special property is a blank slate for a new generation of dreamers.

El Cerrito Plaza hosts a farmers’ market every Tuesday and Saturday, rain or shine. For some of the best desserts and pastries around, check out Fatapple’s Restaurant and Bakery on Fairmount Avenue. The El Cerrito Natural Grocery, renowned for its organic produce and health foods, took over a second building in 2014; the Annex, which is solar-powered, features a deli, cafe, ice cream bar and expanded organic produce section.
 
For entertainment, the historic Cerrito Theater Building, which dates to the 1930s and still maintains its original, neon-lit facade, houses a movie theater with sofas and tables and chairs, as well as a restaurant and a bar, so you can enjoy a pizza and a beer while watching the latest flick. The Contra Costa Civic Theatre offers great plays and live theater productions.
