Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Despite being built in 1928, the property has undergone extensive recent renovations. The interiors feature a modern kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms have been updated with contemporary patterned tiling and modern fixtures. The unit shown displays high-quality finishes, including refinished hardwood floors and updated lighting, meeting current market standards with no apparent deferred maintenance.
Situated in Berkeley’s coveted Northside neighborhood just steps from UC Berkeley, the property benefits from exceptionally high rental demand and a supply-constrained market.
The large attic space offers significant potential for future expansion, while the delivery of one vacant unit allows for immediate owner-occupancy or market-rate repositioning.
Built in 1928, this character-rich fourplex offers timeless appeal in a quiet, tree-lined residential pocket, making it a highly desirable asset for long-term hold.
With only a one-car garage for four units, the property may face challenges in a high-density area where street parking is notoriously difficult for tenants.
As a structure from 1928, the building likely requires ongoing maintenance and potential capital improvements to modernize systems and maintain its historic integrity.
Tucked into Berkeley’s Northside neighborhood just moments from UC Berkeley, 2421 Hilgard Ave offers a rare opportunity to own a classic fourplex in one of the city’s most sought-after residential pockets. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street near the Euclid corridor, the property combines a peaceful setting with close access to campus, shops, and dining. The building features four 1BD/1BA units across 2,890 sq ft, along with a 1-car garage and a large attic space that may offer future expansion potential (buyer to verify). One unit will be delivered vacant, providing an immediate opportunity for owner occupancy while maintaining income from the remaining units. With strong, consistent rental demand tied to its campus-adjacent location, this is a unique chance to own a character-rich asset in a supply-constrained North Berkeley neighborhood.
