Nestled on a quiet street, 1434 Edith Street blends timeless Craftsman charm with thoughtful upgrades. This coveted GOLDEN DUPLEX features a classic 3BR/1BA main residence and a detached 1BR/1BA conforming accessory dwelling unit (ADU) offering legal flexibility for multigenerational living, rental income, or guest use. The main home is filled with natural light, vintage built-ins, and hardwood floors. Eastern-facing living spaces enjoy views of the Berkeley Hills, and a formal dining room and breakfast nook connect seamlessly to a remodeled kitchen. The detached ADU sits privately behind the main home and serves beautifully as a rental, guest suite, or creative studio. The owners have invested in extensive upgrades: a new roof on both structures, a full kitchen remodel with custom cabinetry and appliances, seismic retrofit with foundation bolting and drainage, and updated systems including copper plumbing, new electrical, and a tankless water heater. Outdoor living is enhanced by a freestanding Brazilian Ipe deck and lush landscaping with upgraded irrigation. Additional features include a front-step chairlift, in-unit laundry, and detached garage. Close to Monterey Market, North Berkeley BART, and King Park, this is an exceptional opportunity.
