Description

Thoroughly remodeled vacant side-by-side Golden Duplex + detached office in a convenient Central Berkeley location. The owners unit is set in the rear and includes two bedrooms, one full bathroom, a remodeled kitchen, an amazing, sunny, professionally landscaped garden, and a fabulous office that is detached but only steps away. The sunny detached office with soaring ceilings and exposed wood beams includes a half bathroom, and washer/dryer. The front unit includes one bedroom, one bathroom, a cozy living room with fireplace, and separate laundry machines. The rear garden is designed to be exclusively used by the owner's unit in the rear, and features a large deck, patio, a glorious apricot tree, lemon trees, a fig tree, blueberry bushes, and plum trees. The property is quiet and private, yet it is only blocks to Ashby BART, offers easy access to Berkeley Bowl, and is not far from all of the fabulous restaurants and shops in downtown Berkeley.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from September 25, 2025

    "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 "
