About This Home

As of November 2019

1627-1629 Posen is a truly special, multi-family home located on a peaceful, tree-lined street near the Monterey Market shopping area of North Berkeley. Owned by a mother-daughter duo this charming duplex, with detached in-law, combines old world charm with modern-day amenities. Originally built in 1915 the classic facade of the duplex stands front and center while the modern and sophisticated in-law, with its curved, vaulted ceilings, is set back from the street for absolute privacy. The duplex features two 1-bed, 1-bath units but each could function as a 2-bedrooms; the in-law features 1 bed + loft and represents chic, urban design. All units have access to the backyard. Beautifully landscaped with a custom redwood deck, outdoor dining/living area, established edible garden. Must see!
