About This Home
Great owner occupant opportunity!! This Quintessential Berkeley Victorian Four-Plex, built circa 1895, is a timeless gem that blends vintage charm with modern comforts. The property has been well-maintained, featuring updated kitchens and bathrooms while preserving its historic character. Situated in a prime South Berkeley location, it offers easy access to UC Berkeley, Ashby BART, bus lines, neighborhood parks, shops, and restaurants, with College Avenue amenities and major freeway arteries just minutes away. The property includes four spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, totaling 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The ideal layout consists of two upper-level units and two ground-level units, providing diverse living options. One second-story unit is currently vacant, offering a great opportunity for owner-occupants or to set market rent. With approximately 3,733 sq. ft. of living space on a 6,750 sq. ft. lot, the property also features 4 rear parking spaces with extra room, currently offering no parking income—an excellent opportunity for growth. The easy-to-care-for landscaping and on-site communal laundry add to the convenience of the property. This is a fantastic investment opportunity with potential for rental income growth in both base rent and parking.
