About This Home

As of November 2024

Imagine rolling out of bed in a foodie paradise! Shop Magnanis for organic meats, fresh seafood from Monterey Fish, local and imported cheese from Raxakoul; and choose from an insane amount of produce from Monterey Market. Or don’t cook at all and just grab a slice from Gioia Pizza. And when you need to venture farther, the North Berkeley BART station is conveniently close, making commuting a breeze. This well-appointed duplex offers a fantastic owner’s unit, immediate income, and potential for the development of an onsite ADU. The duplex consists of two charming and updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath units. Both units feature well-appointed eat-in kitchens, and the living rooms have hardwood floors and fireplaces. Each unit is bathed in sunlight, and both enjoy access to a large, sunny yard. Behind the duplex, you'll find a versatile back building with incredible potential for an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) complete with skylights, electrical, and plumbing already in place. Half of the auxiliary building currently hosts a nonconforming kitchenette and bath, showcasing its adaptability for those considering developing a third unit on-site. With two off-street parking spots and an unbeatable location near shops and BART, your global footprint will be minimized.
