Set on a quiet street in Central Berkeley, this 1920’s Craftsman has been in the same family for more than 35 years. Technically a duplex, it is comprised of two separate units that each have their own entrance yet can be combined internally into a Single Family Home, which is how it was used throughout the ownership of the sellers. Flexible floorplan for extended families or income potential! Lovingly maintained and updated throughout the years, it has great light, spacious rooms, gleaming hardwood floors, Craftsman details and a lovely patio garden as well as rooftop deck. Former two-car garage was converted into a bedroom with en-suite bath apparently without permits. Large unfinished basement for workshop and storage and just steps from downtown Berkeley and top rated Berkeley schools.
