This charming Victorian has great bones, soaring ceilings, large windows and loads of potential. With its Dutch colonial roof style and flexible space, this home lives like a single family but is recognized by the city as a duplex. With the hassle and expense of interior demo completed and architectural plans already approved by the City of Berkeley, the space is ripe for someone looking to restore this early twentieth century beauty back to its full glory or create their modern oasis. Featuring a lot over 5600 square feet with a long driveway and detached garage, there is ample yard space to entertain and garden. This highly desirable location in Berkeley is just around the corner from Berkeley Bowl, Kirala, Whole Foods, local Elmwood shops and restaurants, and mere blocks away from Ashby Bart, Alta Bates Hospital and UC Berkeley campus. This is an exceptional fixer opportunity so bring your vision and your contractor!

Stately Victorian with dramatic Dutch Colonial style roof awaits makeover! If you are in the market for a true fixer this is a great opportunity to bring this property back to it’s full glory and make it gorgeous again! There is plenty of upside in this very desirable location close to Berkeley Bowl, Ashby BART and the Elmwood. The high ceilings and fabulous large windows offer great light throughout, some original detailing and woodwork remains. Long driveway and garage needing rebuild offer additional space. The property appears to have been built as single family home and it is currently configured as a duplex.
