Despite being built in 1928, this property has undergone an extensive and recent 'reimagining' and renovation, bringing it to a virtually new condition. Both homes feature modern, high-end finishes, including a chef's kitchen with porcelain countertops and new appliances in the main unit, and updated kitchens in both. All three bathrooms are updated with contemporary fixtures and vanities. New energy-efficient mini-split AC/heater systems are installed, and hardwood flooring is prevalent throughout. The overall quality, as depicted in the images and described, indicates all components are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Dual Turnkey Homes: A rare opportunity to own two fully updated, separate homes on one lot, offering exceptional versatility for multi-generational living, live-work arrangements, or rental income potential.
Prime West Berkeley Location: Situated in the heart of West Berkeley, moments from top-rated schools, popular eateries (Acme Bread, Whole Foods, Fieldwork Brewing), and shops on 4th Street, providing unmatched convenience.
Exceptional Walkability & Bikeability: Boasts an impressive Walk Score of 94 and a Bike Score of 100, indicating excellent access to amenities and transportation, promoting a car-optional lifestyle.
Modern Comforts & Renovations: Both homes feature recent updates, including a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, open floor plans, and new energy-efficient mini-split AC/heater systems for year-round comfort.
Private Outdoor Living: The property includes a beautifully landscaped garden and brick patio with lemon trees, offering private and inviting outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertaining.

Cons

Significant Price Adjustment: The listing price has seen a substantial increase from $1.298M to $1.895M, which may raise buyer scrutiny regarding valuation and market competitiveness.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1928, despite extensive renovations, the underlying structure is nearly a century old, which could lead to potential long-term maintenance considerations or unforeseen issues typical of older properties.
Zoning/Permit Clarity for Dual Units: While described as two homes, the property is listed as a 'Single Family Residence.' Buyers may need to verify the legal permitting status of the second unit for rental income or multi-family use to avoid potential future complications.
