Description

So many possibilities, and a rare chance to shape something distinctly your own. Nestled into a charming block in South Berkeley, 2534 Mathews Street is a two-bedroom, one-bath opportunity with serious upside and enviable proximity to local favorites like Berkeley Bowl West, Third Culture Coffee, Berkeley Ironworks, and the green breathing room of San Pablo and Strawberry Creek Parks. Bring your contractor. Bring your imagination. This is a true heavy fixer, ready for a full-scale reinvention and priced with that vision in mind. The property is being sold in its present condition. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence and verify property condition, zoning, permitted uses, and any potential renovation or development possibilities with the City of Berkeley. A project, certainly. But also a canvas. BESO score: 2
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 May 27, 2026

    "west berkeley is an appealing neighborhood -- largely walkable, with character, lots of amenities nearby. biggest knocks are the cool breeze off the bay, bart isn't nearby and you can't easily access everyday items like milk or toilet paper."

    "The walks one can take through the Berkeley Hills keeps one focused on beauty and inner peace because you are surrounded by the natural world of redwoods, live oak trees hundreds of years old, soaring birds, extraordinary light at sunset, and did I say beauty. Truly amazing weather as well. Best place in country to live well if you can afford it"

    "This is a diverse neighborhood, w/families, singles, and older people. It is close to public transportation, a large park (dogs, tennis, ball games, rec center) and an excellent full-service market. Public school 3 blocks away. Lots of community involvement, block parties, etc. Close to a main thoroughfare yet actual street traffic is light."
