About This Home

As of June 2025

A rare opportunity in vibrant South Berkeley! This 1956 bungalow offers character, flexibility, and untapped potential on a deep 4,270 sq.ft. lot—just blocks from Ashby BART and all the neighborhood’s best amenities. You’re just minutes from cafes, parks, Berkeley Bowl, and local shops in one of the East Bay’s most connected and community-oriented neighborhoods. Enjoy unbeatable urban convenience in a Walker's Paradise with a Walk Score of 94 and a Bike Score of 99. This single-level home features a simple, functional layout and vintage charm awaiting your vision. The deep lot presents ample room for outdoor living, expansion, or the development of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Buyer must investigate with the City. A detached storage shed adds extra utility, while a gated driveway offers off-street parking. Bring your contractor and creativity—this is your chance to reimagine a classic and create something special in the heart of South Berkeley.
