About This Home

As of March 2023

What makes “the Berkeley Way” different? To us, it means doing well by doing good, & that is what 1275 Berkeley Way is all about. In the heart of Berkeley, just off University Avenue & 3 blocks from North Berkeley BART, you will find 2 structures, & something special. The front unit is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath with all the classic touches. The price is transparent. When this property was donated by the previous owner to a Tibetan Meditation School, they asked that their friend be allowed to continue living in the back unit, rent free. So, you have a rare opportunity to do well by doing good. Your money goes to support a charity, & you will be providing a place to live for someone in their golden years. When the current resident opens the door to the next phase of her life, you will have the chance to rent out the unit to those who need it, or to share the space with your loved ones and community.* By doing the right thing now, you will reap the future rewards. That's what we mean by “the Berkeley Way”. It means living in a community where you can do well while doing the right thing. *Neither seller nor listing agent has investigated or verified the accuracy of any of these sources of information nor guarantee any short term, nor increase in future long term, rental income
