Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, this mid-century triplex is over 60 years old and remains largely dated. While it features some newer laminate flooring, other areas show heavily stained carpeting and original wall heaters. The property is functional and income-producing but requires cosmetic updates and system modernization to address its age and 'room to optimize' as noted in the description.
With two of the three units delivered vacant, this triplex offers a rare opportunity for immediate owner-occupancy or the ability to set market-rate rents without the legal complexities of tenant relocation.
Situated on the Berkeley border in the heart of Bushrod, the property provides exceptional access to Ashby BART, Transbay bus lines, and the popular commercial corridors of Rockridge and Temescal.
The generous lot size and large backyard offer clear upside for ADU development or expansion, allowing an investor to increase density and maximize the property's long-term yield.
While gas and electric are separate, the building relies on a single water meter, which increases the owner's operating expenses or necessitates a RUBS implementation for cost recovery.
The immediate assigned elementary school carries a very low rating, which may limit the property's appeal to families looking for a primary residence in a competitive school district.
Opportunity shows up in a few different ways here, and this Bushrod triplex delivers on all of them. Set right on the Berkeley border and minutes from Rockridge, this well-located Mid-Century property offers the rare combination of strong in-place income and immediate flexibility, with two of the three units delivered vacant. Whether you’re looking to owner-occupy, invest, or reposition, the path is already in place. The building totals 2296 square feet across three spacious units that feel more like townhomes than typical apartments. Unit A: 2BD/1BA (tenant occupied, steady income); Unit B: 2BD/1BA (vacant, townhouse-style with living space below and bedrooms above); Unit C: 1BD/1BA (vacant). Each unit includes its own dedicated off-street parking space, with two covered carports, and all units benefit from large closets and comfortable layouts. Practical features add to the appeal: a shared laundry room, adjacent storage room, and separate gas and electric meters (with one water meter for the building). Rental rates are currently at market, offering a strong baseline with room to optimize. Outdoor space is another standout. The property includes both front and rear yards, with a generously sized backyard that invites possibilities, whether for tenant enjoyment, additional amenities, or future expansion. There is also potential for ADU development, through conversion, expansion, or a detached structure, subject to buyer investigation. Location ties everything together. You’re in the heart of Bushrod, with quick access to Temescal, Rockridge, Berkeley, and Downtown Oakland. Ashby BART is just minutes away, along with Transbay bus lines, Emery-Go-Round, and neighborhood shops, cafés, and parks. This is a property that works today and offers clear upside for tomorrow.
