Condition Rating
Fair
While this property underwent an extensive, high-end remodel in 2000, making it 24 years old, the renovation timeline places it outside the 'Good' category's 5-15 year window. The visible kitchenette, though clean and functional, reflects early 2000s styling which is now considered outdated. Although major systems like radiant heating, mini-splits, and full AC are modern and well-maintained, and the overall property appears to be in good condition with regular upkeep, the age of the last major renovation suggests that the kitchens and bathrooms, in particular, would likely show signs of being stylistically outdated, even if durable. Therefore, it requires minor updates to align with current aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Versatile Mixed-Use Potential: The property offers exceptional flexibility with dedicated office spaces on the first two floors and a separate 3rd-floor residence, explicitly designed for 'owner/user plus rental income potential' in a desirable West Berkeley location.
Extensive High-End Renovation: A comprehensive remodel in 2000 included 'very high-end finishes' such as new siding, doors, windows, kitchens, custom closets, and metal work, indicating significant investment in quality and durability.
Modern Comfort Systems: Equipped with radiant heating, mini-splits, and full AC, the property offers advanced climate control, ensuring year-round comfort for all occupants, a notable upgrade for a 1905 build.
Exceptional Outdoor Living Space: Features a 'huge yard with a 20' concrete fountain, native planting, espalier fruit trees, large garden beds, and patio seating,' providing a rare and valuable amenity for relaxation and entertainment in an urban setting.
Spacious and Adaptable Layout: With 3867 sqft across three floors, including multiple offices, kitchens, and a 3-bedroom residence, plus an attic with potential, the property offers ample space and adaptability for various personal and professional needs.
Cons
Limited Official Bathroom Count: The property is officially listed with only 1 bathroom, which is notably low for a 3867 sqft multi-level property designed for both residential and commercial use, potentially requiring additional investment for bathroom expansion.
Age of Primary Renovation: While high-end, the major remodel was completed in 2000. Some finishes and systems, though well-maintained, may be approaching an age where aesthetic or functional updates could be desired by a new owner to align with current trends.
High Price Point: The list price of $2.353 million places this property in a premium market segment, which, despite its unique offerings, may limit the pool of prospective buyers to those with substantial financial capacity.
