About This Home
As of December 2023Transparent price and possible owner-provided interest only downpayment financing at below market rate. This charming 1903 home, in historic High Peaked Colonial Revival style, offers irreplaceable period fixtures and character in a superb location near Berkeley Bowl, Elmwood, UC Campus + BART. The home's air-conditioned upper floor features two spacious and sunny bedrooms, bathroom with dual showers, and a beautiful eat-in kitchen opening to rear balcony, with steps down to spacious rear garden. Main level offers light-filled front living room, dining room, bedroom, full bathroom, and small rear 2nd kitchen. A spacious A-frame attic, and the basement with direct outdoor access, present compelling expansion possibilities. Though used as a single family residence for decades, the property also holds the highly desirable legal status of a registered Berkeley Golden Duplex, and as such is exempt from rent control restrictions while an owner also resides on site. A deep driveway leads to an old double garage structure ready for ADU+ development, and the rear lot is zoned commercial; buyer to investigate possible approved uses.
