Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1903, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchens and baths feature functional vintage elements like clawfoot tubs and butcher block islands, and the exterior/deck show signs of recent maintenance and care, fitting the 5-15 year renovation/maintenance window for a 'good' rating.
Delivered fully vacant, this property offers rare flexibility to be utilized as a high-income duplex or converted into a grand single-family residence in a high-demand North Oakland corridor.
The 1903 Victorian craftsmanship is well-preserved, featuring stained glass, ornate mantles, pocket doors, and clawfoot tubs that provide significant aesthetic appeal and market differentiation.
Ideally situated near Ashby BART, Berkeley Bowl, and Elmwood dining, the property also benefits from proximity to top-rated schools like Peralta Elementary and Berkeley High.
Given the 1903 construction date, buyers should anticipate potential capital expenditures related to aging infrastructure, seismic retrofitting, or specialized Victorian-era upkeep.
The tandem off-street parking configuration may present logistical challenges for multi-tenant occupancy or households with multiple vehicles compared to side-by-side options.
