    The Berkeley Opportunity You've Been Waiting For. Some homes are special because they’re perfectly finished. Others are special because they give you the chance to create something uniquely yours. This South Berkeley bungalow is the second kind — a home with charm, a fantastic lot, and an opportunity you don’t find every day. Built in 1946, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence sits on a generous 4,550 sq ft lot with a huge backyard, mature fruit trees, and plenty of space to enjoy outdoor living. The home has already received thoughtful updates including fresh interior and exterior paint and updated electrical, while leaving room for the next owner to personalize the kitchen and bathrooms. Natural light fills the home, highlighting the classic bungalow feel and inviting layout. Whether you’re a first-time buyer looking to build equity, a homeowner ready to put your personal stamp on a property, or someone searching for a Berkeley location with long-term value, this home offers incredible potential. Enjoy being close to San Pablo Park, neighborhood restaurants, shops, and convenient commuting options throughout the East Bay. This is the kind of property that offers more than just a home — it offers possibilities. Home Energy Score of 5.
