About This Home

As of May 2026

So many possibilities, and a rare chance to shape something distinctly your own. Nestled into a charming block in South Berkeley, 2534 Mathews Street is a two-bedroom, one-bath opportunity with serious upside and enviable proximity to local favorites like Berkeley Bowl West, Third Culture Coffee, Berkeley Ironworks, and the green breathing room of San Pablo and Strawberry Creek Parks. Bring your contractor. Bring your imagination. This is a true heavy fixer, ready for a full-scale reinvention and priced with that vision in mind. The property is being sold in its present condition. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence and verify property condition, zoning, permitted uses, and any potential renovation or development possibilities with the City of Berkeley. A project, certainly. But also a canvas. BESO score: 2
