In a prime location, this charming 1907 Craftsman bungalow is a livable fixer upper. It has two bedrooms and one Bath. One bedroom has a small office space attached that overlooks the backyard. Original hardwood floors are featured in most rooms, and beautiful vintage tiles adorn the dining room fireplace. The bathroom could use a facelift, and the kitchen needs a redesign. Upgrades include a newer foundation, heating, and a recent roof tune-up. While you’re working on the main house, you have the option of living in the thoroughly modern backyard studio. It has a half-bath and plumbing for a bath or shower. It is not a legal ADU, but it was built with permits, so check with the city about the possibilities. Between the Poets Corner and Downtown Berkeley neighborhoods, Channing Way has an 83 Walk Score and 95 Bike Score. This convenient locale is close to dining, shopping, parks, UC Berkeley, BART, and easy freeway access.
