Transparently priced side-by-side duplex near the center of dynamic Berkeley that will be delivered vacant. Fun fact: celebrated comedian Richard Pryor is rumored to have once called this vintage charmer home. Each 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit enjoys period details including recently refinished matchstick hardwood floors. Don't miss the fenced-in and private backyard and the sizable detached two car garage. 1/2 a mile or less to North Berkeley BART, AC Transit lines, Ohlone Park, and Trader Joe's.
Great location for this handsome duplex. Original features have been brought up-to-date like the hardwood flooring, kitchen and bath in each of these one bedroom units. Also, shared yard and detached garage.
