About This Home
As of November 2021Opportunity Knocks!!! Great Fixer-Upper on a large flat lot with multiple opportunities for investors and contractors. The property is in the prime South Berkeley location: walking distance from BART and UC Berkeley, an up and coming neighborhood, very close to the Bay Bridge for easy and quick access to San Francisco. The structure of the property is sound so there is potential to build using its frame. Since the lot is sizable, there is also potential to build a second unit since it is zoned in an R-2. Use this contractors special to flip or invest. Attached in the disclosure packet is a quote to remove and prune some of the trees surrounding the property. There is also a permit from the city to remove the Coastal Live Oak tree directly behind the property. This can open up the lot for opportunity to expand upon the house.
