Welcome to 7811 Potrero Avenue, a classic midcentury home meticulously cherished for over four decades. Perched in the El Cerrito hills within the sought after Madera Elementary school zone*, this home offers one level living at its finest with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a comfortable and flexible floor plan, and room to grow both inside and out. This beauty greets you with a spacious living room that welcomes just the right amount of light through updated dual pane windows, flowing into the formal dining room, the perfect place to entertain, gather with loved ones, or unwind after a long day. New interior and exterior paint, updated hardwood floors, and newer light fixtures make the home feel bright and move in ready, while the updated roof offers peace of mind for years to come. The kitchen was lovingly refreshed with custom cabinetry, built in shelves, and all new stainless steel appliances in 2026, yet still offers just the right balance of originality and vision for you to come in and put your own stamp on it. Off the kitchen, a wonderful bonus room offers a multitude of possibilities: home office, game room, workout space, or a fun family room. It opens directly to your expansive fenced backyard with the perfect level space to entertain, play, enjoy indoor outdoor California living, or start your own urban farm. The upper yard offers just enough room to dream even bigger, perhaps a bonus entertaining area or an upper deck for dining al fresco. Yes please! Back inside, a comfortable primary suite gives you flexibility and privacy, and the 2 car garage with interior access makes everyday errands a breeze. And the location seals the deal. You are minutes from the shops and restaurants of El Cerrito Plaza and San Pablo Avenue, the historic Cerrito Theater, and the trails of Wildcat Canyon and Hillside Natural Area right in your backyard.

This is hillside living with heart, and your opportunity to join one of El Cerrito's most welcoming neighborhoods. *Any interested parties should verify the school district and availability, as attendance at the closest school is not guaranteed.
