Description

Rare opportunity for a Berkeley buyer with vision: completely vacant, 5-units spread across three unique buildings on a nearly 7,000-sq-ft lush lot. Charming, with huge gardens and an indoor/outdoor feel, this property features great separation of space, a massive sunny backyard, a verdant fenced front yard, and plenty of blank canvas for future renovation. The original 1905 home is divided into three units: two side-by-side one-bedroom, one-bath units that share the front yard, covered porch, and backyard access. An exterior staircase winds upward to an attic unit with penthouse potential as a light, bright, open-concept loft, overlooking the sprawling yard and tall trees, with views of the Berkeley hills. A standalone two-story cottage, with its own private porch, could easily be upgraded to have gated outdoor space, storage, and additional amenities. Lastly, the commercially zoned streetfront space has a presence and a shape unlike anything else on the block, with great possibility as a work space, art studio, or even a residential conversion pending city review. A separate, new ADU is also a possibility. A rare offering for the buyer seeking for space, potential, and the urban wild.

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
