About This Home
Experience the quintessential Berkeley lifestyle in this stunning Victorian "Golden Duplex," perfectly situated with a 98 Walk Score near UC Berkeley, Trader Joe’s, BART, and world-class dining. The building is being delivered completely vacant, offering an exceptional opportunity for multigenerational living, the chance to live in one unit while collecting premium rent from the other, or to utilize the entire structure as a grand single-family compound. Rich in architectural character, the home showcases exquisite Victorian details and timeless charm throughout. The upper unit exudes this historic soul with three bedrooms, one bathroom, original hardwood floors, vintage light fixtures, a private deck, and a roomy attic with incredible expansion potential. The lower unit features new white oak engineered hardwood floors and double-pane windows. Currently a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit, it can easily be converted back to its original three-bedroom layout. Highlighting the indoor-outdoor flow, the lower unit features two sets of French doors that open beautifully to the wooden deck and patio. This level is also thoughtfully updated for accessibility with front and rear ramps and a primary bedroom boasting an ADA-compliant ensuite shower, all supported by a modern solar system with battery backup and a dedicated separate laundry room. Set on a deep, oversized lot featuring a large patio, fruit trees, and a grapevine, the property includes a roughly 500 sq. ft detached garage with heating and insulation—ideal for a home office or potential future ADU conversion. This is a rare, high-upside investment with unmatched flexibility and classic East Bay character. BESO score 7.
