About This Home
As of October 2022Once-in-a-lifetime: that is the only way to describe the opportunity that North Berkeley’s 1514 Walnut Street presents buyers. This exceptionally well-maintained triplex is divided into three renovated residential units delivered vacant (1 x 2++BR/1.5BA, 2 x 1BR/1.1BA) with a large 1,200+ square foot flex space on the ground level with a nearly 8-foot ceiling. In fact, the entire building features updated plumbing, electricity, and foundation with seismic upgrades. The 2BR unit is the crown jewel—at more than 1,700 square feet, it extends the length of the structure and even includes a spiral staircase for accessing the large family room. A long paver driveway feeds into a generous lot at the rear of the property, capable of accommodating numerous vehicles. Final fact of note—1514 Walnut Street is literally around the corner from world-class restaurants and markets, less than five blocks from the north side of UC Berkeley, has views of the bay, and comes with ADU expansion potential.
