A rare slice of El Cerrito history! Built circa 1912, this classic cottage may have been hand-crafted, carrying the character of an earlier time when the city was still known for its orchards and family homesteads. An enclosed front porch, two bedrooms, one bath and located on a generous lot, you'll find a detached 4-car garage, vintage shed, and a flourishing apple tree that nods to the area's agrarian roots. Today, El Cerrito is celebrated for its blend of small-town charm and Bay Area access, with this property sitting just steps from BART and biking paths. For the visionary buyer, a full set of duplex plans is includedoffering possibilities to lift, expand, or build new. A home with history, land with potential, and a location that connects past, present, and future.
