Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1930s condo that retains much of its original vintage character, including hardwood floors and wood wainscoting. While move-in ready, it is classified as 'fair' because the kitchen and bathroom are dated, featuring older tile countertops, cabinetry, and appliances that have not been modernized in several decades. The presence of only partial dual-pane windows and older radiator heating further reflects a lack of recent comprehensive renovation, making it a prime candidate for cosmetic and system updates.
Situated in Central Berkeley, this unit is exceptionally well-located within 10 blocks of UC Berkeley, two BART stations, and downtown amenities, offering high walkability and easy commuting.
This 1930s corner unit features desirable vintage details including wood panel wainscoting, original hardwood floors, and French doors, providing a unique character often sought in the Berkeley market.

Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
With only 764 square feet for a two-bedroom configuration, the interior space may feel restrictive for buyers seeking larger living areas or modern open-concept layouts.
While the vintage charm is a highlight, the property likely requires updates to meet contemporary standards, as suggested by the invitation to redesign and the presence of only partial dual-pane windows.
