Exciting project home in an awesome location! Cool & classic Berkeley bungalow bursting with potential! Property is Zoned R-2 and with a nice big lot—ideal for buyers with imagination and vision to add value. Tons of original charm: fireplace, built-ins, old-world feels, and lovely stained glass. Set on a deep lot with a large, accessible backyard—think ADU, another house, expansion, development (buyer to verify uses) or perhaps or a lush garden retreat or urban farm. Possibilities are endless! Spacious living room with a cozy Inglenook (a partially enclosed nook, adjacent to a fireplace, for seating and gathering. It's essentially a "little room within a big room".—so charming!), 2 bright bedrooms, a sweet kitchen, a dining room, bathroom w/laundry, plus a sweet bonus room you might transform into a home office. Fantastic location near Berkeley Bowl, BART, Downtown, and fab shops and dining. WalkScore 89, BikeScore 100! Yes, it needs TLC—but this is a rare chance to create something truly special in a coveted location.
