About This Home

As of May 2025

Westbrae Fixer! Don’t miss this 1908 farmhouse in Berkeley's wonderful Westbrae. It has so much potential for renovation and development!* The property is a legal duplex on a 5000 square foot level lot (per public record), with a large outbuilding across the back. The upper 2+ bedroom, 1 bath flat has original wood floors, tall ceilings, great light, laundry porch, and a huge attic.

The fenced yard is on the sunny south side of the building, and there’s also room for more off-street parking. This location merits a 95 Walkscore®, conveniently close to North Berkeley BART, Whole Foods, 4th Street, Kermit Lynch, Acme Bread, Bartavelle, beer gardens, bagels, and coffee shops.
