A Hillside Complex with a Spectacular View
This gorgeous new ADU in El Cerrito opens up a world of possibilities for the homeowner
At New Avenue, we’re always excited to help homeowners bring their visions to life, and this recent project in El Cerrito is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can transform a space. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom ADU was built with the future in mind—the owner plans to rent it out for now and eventually move in, making it their own.
Abundant Amenities and Plenty of Privacy
This ADU is no ordinary addition. The main house, designed by a renowned architect, already made a statement on the property, so we knew the ADU had to be something special. Positioned on a through lot that touches two streets, the ADU is accessible as if it were an entirely separate residence, providing privacy and ease of access for future tenants or the owner.
The ADU offers all the comforts of home, with a spacious kitchen, a welcoming living area, plenty of built-in storage, and a dedicated laundry space.
Built to Stand the Test of Time
Constructing this ADU required careful planning and expert engineering. Situated on a hill, the project involved drilling numerous piers deep into the soil to ensure a stable foundation. Our team’s dedication to quality and safety ensures that this ADU will stand strong for generations to come, even in the most demanding conditions.
Breathtaking Views and Natural Light
One of the most striking features of this ADU is its wall of windows, which flood the space with natural light and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Whether enjoying a morning cup of coffee in the kitchen or relaxing in the living area, the people who live here will always be treated to an open panorama that makes the home feel even more spacious.
Thoughtful Details and Elegant Finishes
Inside, a beautiful wall of tile serves as a focal point, adding texture and visual interest to the space. The combination of sleek surfaces and high-quality materials gives the ADU a modern, polished look that complements the architecture of the primary home.
A Seamless Addition to the Neighborhood
The ADU’s smart design ensures it feels like a natural extension of the property while maintaining its own identity as a standalone residence. Its design complements the primary home, the neighboring structures, and the terrain. It’s a perfect example of how an accessory dwelling unit can offer all the benefits of a full-sized home, blending seamlessly with the surrounding neighborhood while providing the privacy and functionality homeowners desire.
