Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1905, this 'cosmetic fixer' has had major structural work completed (foundation and seismic), but the interior is dated. The kitchen features older oak cabinetry and tile from several decades ago, and the bathroom fixtures show significant age and wear, placing the interior condition in the >20-year-old category requiring updates.
Boasting a 95 Walk Score and 97 Bike Score, this property is perfectly situated near the Gourmet Ghetto and BART, offering unparalleled access to Berkeley’s best amenities without needing a car.
The home features a newer foundation, completed seismic work, and a brand-new deck, addressing the most costly infrastructure concerns and providing a solid base for cosmetic improvements.
Set back from the street for enhanced tranquility, the property includes a private backyard, a new entertaining deck, and a detached storage shed, which is rare for a one-bedroom urban residence.
The interior is identified as a cosmetic fixer, meaning buyers will need to budget additional time and capital to update the aesthetics and finishes to modern standards.
At just 768 square feet with a single bedroom, the property offers limited flexibility for growing households or those requiring a dedicated home office space.
Victorian Farmhouse with high ceilings, great light, and private location set back from the street. This charming one-bedroom, one-bath North Berkeley home offers a surprising sense of privacy and tranquility in the middle of one of Berkeley’s most walkable/bikeable neighborhoods. This home is a cosmetic fixer with character! Most of the hard work has been done: newer foundation, seismic work and deck. This is your opportunity to make it your own. The kitchen opens to a new deck (2026), large enough for entertaining, plus you have your own private backyard just waiting for the gardener in you. Off-street parking and, for additional storage, there is a detached shed. The perfect neighborhood for those who want to be connected, with a 95 Walk Score® (Walker’s Paradise) and 97 Bike Score™ (Biker’s Paradise); everyday errands can easily be done without a car. Andronico’s is nearby for grocery shopping, along with the shops, cafés, and restaurants of the Gourmet Ghetto, while Downtown Berkeley and BART are just minutes away. Private, peaceful, walkable, and full of potential — a tucked-away North Berkeley home ready for its next chapter.
