Possibilities as endless as the views! This unique property has so much to offer.

Ideally perched to capture panoramic views while staying close to everything El Cerrito offers—schools, parks, shops, public transit, the Community Center, and 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, and 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.
