About This Home

As of February 2025

Prime North Berkeley location. It doesn’t get much better than this. Have you always wanted a tree-lined street, walking distance to everything, and the opportunity to design your own home? 1721 Madera offers the perfect opportunity. Nicely set back from the street and offering 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a walkable location, 5,760 sq.ft. lot, this home is ideal for a contractor, investor, or an ambitious homeowner. Through the front door, one is welcomed into the entryway that leads directly into the classic Craftsman living room, anchored around a statement fireplace with large windows overlooking the street. Just off the living room is the formal dining room with original built-ins, just waiting to be brought back to life. Off the dining room to the left is a hallway to two bedrooms and one bathroom. And off the back of the dining room is the kitchen, updated sometime in around the 90's with tile countertops. Toward the back of the house is the third bedroom and half bathroom (on public record) that lives more like a living room with direct access to the back garden. Downstairs is the laundry room/basement and another access to the back garden. Rounding out the home is a large, flat lot and detached one car garage. No open houses, schedule your showing with your Realtor.
