Despite the 1919 build date, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and updated cabinetry, likely renovated within the last 10-15 years. A high Beso score of 9 and sewer lateral compliance suggest that energy systems and plumbing are in good functional condition.
Situated in one of Berkeley's most coveted neighborhoods, this property boasts an exceptional walkability score with immediate proximity to Monterey Market, the Gourmet Ghetto, and local parks.
The extra-deep 6,150 sqft lot is significantly larger than average for the area, providing a massive sunny backyard and the potential for future expansion or an ADU.
The free-standing garage offers excellent potential for a home office or creative studio, providing valuable flexible space separate from the main residence.
With only 900 square feet of living space, the home's interior footprint is quite compact, which may feel restrictive for growing families or those requiring more storage.
The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout can be a drawback for modern buyers who typically prefer at least 1.5 or 2 bathrooms for convenience and higher resale value.
