About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to 1916 Woolsey, a classic South Berkeley Craftsman offering 2,514 sq. ft., 5 bedrooms, an office, and 3 full bathrooms. Currently configured as a single-family home, it was most recently used as a duplex and can be easily converted back. Charming period details—a welcoming front porch, porthole windows, and rich woodwork—showcase its character, while fresh paint, refinished hardwood floors, stylish lighting, and updated baths add modern comfort. The main level includes 2 bedrooms and a home office that provides access to the backyard. A brand-new kitchen with quartz counters, custom cabinetry, and stainless appliances opens to the dining and living rooms. Step out to a rear deck overlooking a spacious yard with raised garden beds. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, sitting area, and access to both a private deck and enclosed patio. A roomy attic adds generous storage or potential expansion. The large lot allows parking for multiple vehicles, a boat, or RV. With two PG&E meters, two front doors, two laundry areas, and plumbing for an upstairs kitchen, it can easily be used as a duplex to suit a variety of lifestyles. Steps to Ashby BART and close to Berkeley Bowl, Whole Foods, AC Transit, shops, and cafes.
