Description

Rare opportunity for a Berkeley buyer with vision: 5-units spread across three unique buildings on a nearly 7,000-sq-ft lush lot. Charming, with huge gardens and an indoor/outdoor feel, this property features great separation of space, a massive sunny backyard, a verdant fenced front yard, and plenty of blank canvas for future renovation. The original 1905 home is divided into three units: two side-by-side one-bedroom, one-bath units that share the front yard, covered porch, and backyard access. An exterior staircase winds upward to an attic unit with penthouse potential as a light, bright, open-concept loft, overlooking the sprawling yard and tall trees, with views of the Berkeley hills. A standalone two-story cottage, with its own private porch, could easily be upgraded to have gated outdoor space, storage, and additional amenities. Lastly, the commercially zoned streetfront space has a presence and a shape unlike anything else on the block, with great possibility as a work space, art studio, or even a residential conversion pending city review. A separate, new ADU is also a possibility. A rare offering for the buyer seeking for space, potential, and the urban wild.
