Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1957, the property has received cosmetic updates including new white oak floors and select kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen cabinetry and bathrooms remain dated, featuring original mid-century pink tiling and older fixtures that exceed the 30-year threshold for modern standards, necessitating future updates.
Positioned as a top-floor sanctuary, the residence offers rare and dramatic two-bridge panoramas of the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay, significantly enhancing its luxury appeal.
At 2,049 square feet, this unit provides a rare scale for a two-bedroom condominium, offering the spaciousness and flow typically found in a traditional single-family home.
Located in the heart of North Berkeley, the property boasts a high walkability score with immediate access to world-class dining, UC Berkeley, and BART.
The monthly HOA fee of $1,200 is substantial and may deter buyers sensitive to high carrying costs or impact debt-to-income ratios for financing.
Despite the premium price point and large square footage, the unit lacks private in-unit laundry, relying instead on shared building facilities.
