Description
On a quiet, tree-lined block, this turn-of-the-century triplex is being offered for the first time in over a generation — and represents one of the most compelling value-add opportunities Central Berkeley has seen in some time. Two buildings, three substantial units, a 6,500 sq ft lot*, and the kind of layouts that simply aren't built anymore. The front building is a classic two-story duplex with one unit on each level, totaling roughly 2,700 square feet*. The upper unit spans nearly 1,300 sq ft* and offers three bedrooms, a full bath, and a beautifully proportioned turn-of-the-century floor plan flowing from a bay-windowed living room into an oversized formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen. The lower unit mirrors this footprint as a spacious two-bedroom with the same gracious living-dining-kitchen sequence. High ceilings, period millwork, and abundant natural light give both flats a character that modern construction can rarely match. Behind the duplex sits a detached rear cottage perched above a three-car garage and oversized storage — an extraordinary bonus on a Berkeley lot. The cottage is a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment of approximately 720 sq ft* with its own kitchen, living room, and utility/laundry room — ideal as a long-term rental**, in-law unit, or short-term stay. With two vacant units, this is a fantastic opportunity to owner-occupy the upstairs unit and have two rentals helping carry the mortgage in one of the East Bay's most consistently strong rental markets. Roosevelt sits within easy walking distance to downtown Berkeley, North Shattuck shopping, San Pablo Avenue's restaurants and cafés, and BART. UC Berkeley is a short ride away, and the leafy residential streets that surround the property are the kind that you'll never want to leave. Properties of this scale, in this location, with this much room to add value, do not come along often. Bring your contractor, your vision, and your long-term outlook — and step into a Berkeley legacy asset with decades of upside ahead. BESO Score: *Per public record.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Principal has been very receptive and always available to discuss our concerns. I visit the school at different times of the day throughout the year and I see his presence in the lunch room on the yard and in the school as a strong and positive influence on the school , it's students and the teaching staff. The PTA is involved and the school supports may different initiatives on behalf of BAM and the community.Parent Review7y ago - Berkeley High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school has great teachers and traditional education for the most part . My issue with the social aspect is that they don't have a dress code. I understand we are in Berkeley CA and there are nudists but that's different. They allow their girls to wear very tight daisy dukes that show not only the gluteos maximus but the genitals. This has been an ongoing going issue for almost ten years and I really don't understand why. I feel the students should be educated on why it's a bad idea. The students have off campus lunch and harass passer bys and spread what ever infections they have with those genitals shorts. Aside from this real big issue there are some ok teachers there that are trustworthyParent Review7mo ago - Sylvia Mendez Elementary

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePhenomenal school is every way. Diverse and welcome in learning community with high quality teachers in TK and K. My student has thrived here and I can’t wait to see what next school year brings. The after school staff really connected with my student and principal Hunt is a very dedicated. Don’t skip the potluck and movie nights as well as other school functions like back to school etc. they are so so worth it. Forgot to mention one of the best aspects, the specialists! My student has dance, garden, nutrition/ wellness, and art!Parent Review3y ago - Oxford Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI had two kids in this school. One of them was severely traumatized, the other one fared better but was also not really happy. They have ZERO help for kids during recess. When there is a fight kids are told off, when there is bullying they rather victim blame than helping the child. The principal is old fashioned and loves teachers that yell at and punish kids. Group punishments? Great! Shaming a kid as punishment? Yes!The school has a few fantastic teachers but it doesn't make up for the rest.Parent Review4y ago - Washington Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe joined Washington just before COVID and the school went fully remote (as required). It was a difficult way to start, and everyone was doing the best they could to adapt. As students returned to campus, the faculty thoughtfully navigated the complexity of reintegrating. Overall, I was impressed. My daughter recently exited 5th grade as a very well-adjusted individual who was performing well in the classroom. We love you Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Baile, and Mrs. Jokela!Parent Review1y ago - Cragmont Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNine out of ten. The school was built In 1999 with seismic Proofing also Ng with great surveillance cameras and security. The PTA is absolutely wonderful and we as parents have been participating and engaged. Parents are educated and great to hang out with. The teaching skills are very acceptable. I really like the melting pot of the students along with the teachers.Parent Review6y ago - Willard Middle School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had a horrible time at Willard. While some of the teachers were excellent (we had some great math teachers, for example) and we loved the cooking and gardening programs, bullying was a huge problem that, despite many, many complaints to the school, went un-addressed. My child was bullied mercilessly by another child the entire time and that other child would basically play innocent - it was never dealt with beyond that. My child is in high school now and we have spent thousands of dollars in therapy to help them get their confidence and sense of self back. I'm not sure whether that will ever happen. Additionally, although some teachers were fantastic, there were many others who were not, and those set a negative tone for the entire experience for us.Parent Review2y ago
