Description

This is a rare opportunity to have your own rental apartments in Berkeley and have the ability to choose your own tenants. These 4 apartments are all vacant and recently rehabbed and in “Rent Ready” condition. All the apartments have high ceilings, fresh paint, refurbished kitchen and baths. The original hardwood floors are in great shape and the newly added tile floors in the kitchens and bathrooms are a real plus. There are brand new stoves and refrigerators in each apartment. The apartments have big rooms and lots of light and space, not your typical tragic Berkeley apartments. These apartments will be easy to rent and command top dollar. There is a big parking area behind the apartment building which gives each tenant one off-street parking space.
If you are not really looking for a straight rental situation these vacant apartments could also work well for a family compound, or maybe even Co-housing. Maybe you want a big owners unit. How about combining the two upper floor apartments and create a huge “Owner’s flat.” The uses and choices are many.
Berkeley continues to have a strong rental market with a strong job base and the University. You will have a good long term investment with this building.

Neighborhood Description

From miles away, people can see Berkeley, thanks to the Campanile tower on the UC Berkeley campus, rising 13 stories above the city. Created in 1868, the University of California became one of leading universities in the world and the flagship of the entire UC system. But, to really know Berkeley, you have walk the streets and meet the people that make Berkeley one of the most unique and exciting cities on the planet.
Berkeley has a rich architectural history, offering many homes from such important names as Julia Morgan and Bernard Maybeck. From the Arts & Crafts and Mediterranean bungalows in North Berkeley to the Craftsman homes in Elmwood, Berkeley probably has the perfect home for almost anyone. And, if you need help, the city’s terrific website offers easy-to-use guidance on almost everything, including permit histories, rent board issues, and even their unique “golden duplex” rule.
The City of Berkeley really stepped onto the world stage during the turbulent sixties and seventies. When not engaging in political discourse, Berkeley citizens needed food and art, so a cultural revolution was ignited. Chez Panisse changed the world of food, Berkeley Rep sends show after to show to a national audience and 924 Gilman introduces new bands to the world.
When you want to return to your college days, you can always visit the street vendors on Telegraph Avenue, the hangouts on Shattuck in downtown Berkeley, or watch Cal defeat Stanford at the Big Game. Away from campus, Berkeley is home to many parks, from big Tilden Park up in the hills to the gorgeous marina and waterfront. Shop and eat your way through the day on Solano Avenue or in the Gourmet Ghetto. It is easy to get around town, using BART, AC Transit, or the city’s many bicycle pathways.
Whether you want to get an education, start a revolution or just be yourself, Berkeley has a way of life for everyone.
