Opportunity knocks at 130 Behrens Street in El Cerrito. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 997 square feet of living space on a deep 3,250 square foot lot, creating a rare chance to reimagine and restore a classic 1939 property. This is a true fixer-upper with major upside. The existing layout provides a solid starting point, while the deep lot opens the door to expansion, outdoor living, or a fresh redesign. A separate storage shed adds flexibility for storage, workspace, or future improvements. Ideally located near the border of Albany, the home offers easy access to local shops, dining, BART, and commuter routes. The combination of location, lot depth, and potential makes this a compelling opportunity to add value. Bring your vision and your contractor. Restore, expand, or re-create—this property is ready for its next chapter.
