About this home
Take a look at this deal in El Sobrante! Perched in the hills off La Colina Road, this home offers beautiful hillside views, but the backyard is the real showstopper. There’s room to dream big with potential for an addition, ADU, extra storage, or your own outdoor retreat. The home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an enclosed patio, and a single-car garage. It needs some love, but there’s plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Stop by our open house this Saturday and Sunday from 2–4 PM!
