Welcome to 1600 & 1602 Eighth Street, a down-to-the-studs fully renovated 3BD/2BA home alongside a newly constructed 2BD/1BA home (built in 2016), ideally located within five blocks of the popular shops and restaurants of the Gilman District and Fourth Street. Both homes are in pristine condition and offer numerous options regarding how to utilize them best such as: family compound, live/work space, guest house or earn rental income. 1600 is light-filled and offers a dedicated one-car garage with interior access, hardwood floors, a private backyard, two decks, and a well-appointed kitchen that flows seamlessly into the open concept living and dining rooms. 1602 is both sleek with its polished concrete floors and very cozy offering two large bedrooms, an off-street parking space, and a front lawn. A 20-minute walk brings you to the North Berkeley BART Station and a three-minute drive lands you on I-80 - the best of The Bay is at your fingertips from this vibrant Berkeley neighborhood!
