More Insights
Built in 1910 (115 years old).
Condition: This property consists of two distinct homes: a reimagined 1910 Craftsman and a brand-new ADU. The Craftsman has been extensively renovated, featuring a modern kitchen with a Wolf range and granite counters, updated interiors, and well-preserved period details like hardwood floors and a charming clawfoot tub. The ADU is a new build, all-electric, net-zero-ready, with modern finishes, engineered wood floors, and a chef's kitchen, indicating virtually new components and systems. Both homes are in pristine, move-in ready condition, reflecting recent, high-quality renovations and new construction.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Dual Homes & Income Potential: The property features two distinct homes on one lot (a reimagined 1910 Craftsman and a new build ADU), offering versatile living options such as multi-generational housing, live-rent scenarios, or a family compound. The new ADU is also exempt from rent control, enhancing its income-generating appeal.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency & Modern Infrastructure: The new build is designed to net-zero-ready standards, is all-electric, and includes advanced features like HRV filtration, EV-ready parking, and the latest seismic and energy engineering, appealing to environmentally conscious buyers and offering long-term cost savings.
Blend of Historic Charm & Modern Luxury: The front Craftsman beautifully preserves period charm with bay windows, hardwood floors, built-ins, and a clawfoot tub, while incorporating modern updates like a renovated kitchen with a Wolf range and granite counters. The new build offers contemporary design with open-plan living, modern finishes, and a chef's kitchen.
Prime Location & High Walk/Bike Scores: Situated in North Oakland, the property boasts excellent accessibility with a Walk Score of 90 and Bike Score of 100. It is minutes away from Ashby BART, Berkeley Bowl, Elmwood, Rockridge, and Downtown Berkeley, providing convenient access to transit, amenities, and vibrant urban centers.
Extensive Outdoor Amenities & Landscaping: Both residences benefit from thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, including a landscaped front yard, a new wide paver driveway, a garage/workshop, and a private backyard featuring a deck, turf, citrus trees, and planter boxes, enhancing curb appeal and outdoor living.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count in Craftsman: The 3-bedroom Craftsman home only features one bathroom, which could be a significant functional limitation for families or multiple occupants, potentially impacting daily convenience and broad market appeal.
Premium Price Point: With a list price of $2.097 million, the property is positioned at a premium price point, which may narrow the pool of potential buyers despite its unique dual-home offering and extensive upgrades.
Separated Living Spaces: While offering flexibility, the configuration of two distinct, separate homes (a front Craftsman and a detached rear ADU) might not appeal to buyers seeking a single, large, integrated family residence with a unified living experience and direct internal access between all bedrooms.
