Built in 1951 and on the market for the first time in decades, the property is in functional but dated condition. The kitchens feature older cabinetry and mixed-age appliances, while the bathrooms retain vintage tiling and fixtures. Although the hardwood floors appear well-maintained and the structure seems sound, the lack of recent renovations to major systems, light fixtures, and interior finishes places it firmly in the fair category, requiring cosmetic and functional updates to meet modern standards.
Boasting a Walk Score of 91, this property is situated in one of Berkeley’s most coveted neighborhoods, just steps from the College Avenue corridor, UC Berkeley, and local transit.
