About This Home

As of September 2025

Surprisingly spacious and conveniently located, this South Berkeley fixer has huge potential. A large living room with a corner fireplace adjoins the dining room and an eat-in kitchen with a walk-in pantry. Two rear bedrooms include a guest room with original built-ins, ideal for a home office, and a downstairs primary with roomy closets and sliders to a private back porch. Upstairs, a huge primary bedroom with three closets overlooks the back yard and shares a hall bath with a front-facing guest room. In the yard you’ll find mature lemon and apple trees as well as a cozy cabana that could meet a variety of needs. This home is across the street from San Pablo Park, giving you the biggest front yard imaginable, just a few blocks from bustling San Pablo Avenue and Berkeley Bowl West.
