Rare 2 houses on 1 lot in Berkeley’s sought-after North Berkeley neighborhood. FRONT HOUSE: 1137 Delaware (2 bedrooms, 2 baths, currently rented) was built in 1907. It is a wonderful Craftsman that has retained many of its original features such as cove ceilings, fireplace, interior columns in the entryway and beautiful refinished hardwood floors. The large eat-in kitchen has a newer gas stove, newer countertops and fixtures, yet still shows off that original charm. Included in this home is a utility room at the back of the home with a washer and dryer and door to the back yard. BACK HOUSE: 1135 Delaware (2+ bedrooms, 1 bath) is a stylish home nestled in the back of the property, off the street, giving it a private feel. This adorable home has a modern open floor plan, fireplace, gleaming hardwood floors, updated kitchen with newer appliances. A very practical utility room with washer and dryer is just off the kitchen with an exit to the back.
