Three separate buildings! Five legal units. Two in need of serious remodeling. Huge gardens. Three staged residential units PLUS one high-ceiling commercial building shell, and a beautiful gutted attic apartment with views of the Berkeley Hills. The five legal units total just over 3000 square feet across three buildings. This is an ideal value-add opportunity for those looking for a large scale renovation project in a desirable area. The original 1905 home was long ago divided into three units: two side-by-side one-bedroom, one-bath units on the lower floor that share the front yard, covered porch, and backyard access. An exterior staircase leads to the third unit carved out of the original home: a sunny attic unit with post renovation potential as an open-concept loft with views, or a small two bedroom footprint with dormers and structural changes to the roofline. A standalone, two-story, two-bedroom tiny cottage with its own private porch offers another flexible space with potential for gated outdoor space. The commercially zoned streetfront space has a distinctive presence and footprint unlike anything else on the block, presenting many possibilities for a workspace, art studio, or potential residential conversion, subject to city review. Set on nearly a 7,000-sq-ft lot, five legal units and a lush backyard sit on a bicycle route, offering easy access to downtown, the BART station, or UC Berkeley. Don't miss this blank canvas for renovation and development! A separate new ADU or additional units may be possible, subject to city approval.
