Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1940, the property has undergone extensive modern renovations as stated in the description and clearly visible in the images. All four units feature new or virtually new kitchens with white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, light countertops, and subway tile backsplashes. Bathrooms are similarly updated with modern vanities, tiling, and fixtures. Hardwood floors are consistent throughout, and recessed lighting is present. The description also notes upgraded electrical and plumbing systems. This comprehensive renovation brings the interior quality to an excellent, move-in ready standard, meeting the criteria for 'extensively renovated recently' with 'all components new or virtually new'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Exceptional location in the heart of Berkeley, offering immediate access to UC Berkeley, Downtown, and a wealth of cafes, restaurants, and public transit, ensuring high tenant demand and appreciation potential.
Multi-Unit Income Property: A quadruplex configuration (two 2-bedroom, two 1-bedroom units) provides diversified income streams and strong investment potential as a residential income property.
Modern Renovations: Units boast modern renovations and stylish finishes, minimizing immediate capital expenditure for a new owner and enhancing tenant appeal.
Separately Metered Utilities: Each unit is separately metered for gas and electricity, transferring utility costs directly to tenants and simplifying property management.
Upgraded Core Systems: Recently upgraded electrical and plumbing systems are already in place, reducing the likelihood of major unforeseen maintenance costs for critical infrastructure.
Cons
Age of Building: Constructed in 1940, the property's age, despite renovations, may present challenges with older infrastructure not explicitly mentioned as upgraded (e.g., foundation, roof) or compliance with modern building codes.
Compact Unit Sizes: All units are approximately 600 square feet, which is relatively small, particularly for the two 2-bedroom units, potentially limiting the tenant pool or rental premium.
Lack of Mention of Parking/Amenities: The description does not specify dedicated parking or significant common amenities (e.g., laundry facilities, private outdoor space), which could be a drawback for tenants in a dense urban environment.
