Built in 1963, this property is over 60 years old. While the hardwood floors appear well-maintained and the bathroom has received some minor updates (newer vanity and toilet), the overall style, dated light fixtures, popcorn ceilings, and the 'functional kitchen' description suggest that the property has not undergone a full, recent renovation. It is maintained and livable, but many components are outdated and would benefit from cosmetic and functional updates to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Investment Opportunity: This triplex is explicitly marketed as a 'Prime Multifamily Investment Opportunity' with 'incredible income potential,' 'strong positive cash flow,' and 'potential for increased rental income,' making it highly attractive to investors.
Exceptional Location: Strategically located in central Berkeley, offering proximity to major attractions like UC Berkeley, San Pablo Park, Berkeley Bowl, shops, restaurants, and excellent transit options including Ashby BART, the SF Bay Bridge, and Emeryville.
Versatile Unit Mix: The property features a desirable unit configuration: a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom front house and two separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, appealing to a broad range of tenants and offering flexible rental strategies.
Individual In-Unit Laundry: A significant tenant amenity, all three units are equipped with individual washer/dryer facilities, enhancing convenience and rental desirability.
Shared Outdoor Space & Storage: The spacious backyard serves as a common area for tenants and includes additional storage, providing valuable outdoor living space and practical utility.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1963, the property is over 60 years old. While the description highlights functionality, it doesn't specify recent major system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which could lead to future capital expenditures.
Lack of Dedicated Parking Information: The property description does not mention any dedicated parking facilities, which can be a significant drawback and highly sought-after amenity in a dense urban environment like Berkeley.
Unspecified Interior Condition of Units: While the front house has a master suite, the description only refers to 'functional kitchens' in the other units. This suggests that some interiors may not be recently updated, potentially requiring renovation to maximize rental income and tenant appeal.
