Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1940, this fourplex is well-maintained and functional, but it retains much of its original character and vintage infrastructure. While the exterior and landscaping show pride of ownership, the property lacks evidence of a recent full-scale renovation. The kitchens and bathrooms, while operational for the current rental market, likely feature older styles and appliances consistent with a property maintained through regular upkeep rather than modern updates, placing it firmly in the 'fair' category.
Situated just blocks from the UC Berkeley campus and downtown, this property is located in a high-demand rental corridor that ensures consistently low vacancy rates and long-term desirability.
With a reported monthly rental income exceeding $9,000, the property offers an immediate and robust cash flow, making it a rare and lucrative opportunity for residential income investors.
The 1940s structure features classic brick and stucco detailing with generous window placements, providing bright, airy interiors and elevated neighborhood views that enhance tenant appeal.
Given the 1940 construction date, the building may require significant capital improvements or seismic retrofitting to meet modern standards and mitigate long-term maintenance costs.
With approximately 2,396 square feet divided among four units, the average unit size is relatively small, which may limit the tenant profile primarily to students or single occupants.
