About This Home
Exceptional 4-unit property in the heart of Berkeley— an owner/occupier dream or great for an investor. Live in one, rents the others, build wealth, and enjoy all Berkeley has to offer! Two units are leased and income-generating from day one, two units delivered vacant at COE. The triplex includes three well-maintained units: a sunlit 3BD/2BA upper residence with soaring ceilings and formal dining room, plus two lower-level units (3BD/1BA and 2BD/1BA). A lush, shared backyard features a BBQ area, raised garden beds, and vibrant flowers—perfect for relaxation and community. At the rear of the property sits a newly upgraded (like new!), fully permitted 1BD/1BA ADU with a private patio, ideal as an owner’s unit or premium fourth rental. Whether you’re an investor seeking strong cash flow or a buyer looking to live on-site while generating income, this turnkey compound delivers rare versatility.
