| More Information (Hide Summary) |
This adorable, light-filled duplex has front and back units, all on one level, which may be easily combined through a hall closet. The front unit has 2 bedrooms, the rear unit has 1 bedroom, and both feature hardwood floors, fireplaces, gas stoves, and playful personalities.
The street side of the property is softened by a rustic split-rail fence, roses and jasmine, while the rear of the property contains a large detached garage and private yard with flagstone patio and raised planting beds.
This property is located on a quiet side street, yet is within just a few blocks of Westbrae Deli, Westbrae Nursery, Berkeley Natural Grocery, coffee shop, Lalime's Restaurant, Mam Lan's Restaurant, Boogie Woogie Bagel Boy, and Toot Sweets Bakery. Tot Lot is right on the corner, and Cedar-Rose Park is just a few blocks in the other direction. North Berkeley BART is very convenient, as is the Monterey Market area and Solano Avenue.
This property is registered with Berkeley's rent board. The front (two bedroom) unit has been voluntarily vacated, and the new owners are free to charge market rent for that unit. The rear (one bedroom) unit is currently rented to an excellent tenant at $1,300/mo. Please talk to agent directly regarding rent control details, or contact the Berkeley rent board at (510) 644-6128 and speak to a counselor about options for owner occupants.
