Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1963, has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen which features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, updated countertops, and a contemporary tile backsplash. Hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout the living areas and bedrooms, complemented by fresh paint and modern light fixtures. While the interior is move-in ready and aesthetically pleasing, the absence of bathroom images and the visible wall heaters (suggesting no central HVAC) for a 1963 build indicate that some major systems may not have been fully updated to 'excellent' standards. The overall condition reflects a well-maintained property with substantial recent cosmetic and functional upgrades, aligning with a 'good' rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Income Potential: As a triplex with two existing rental units and a vacant owner's unit, the property offers immediate and significant rental income opportunities, appealing to investors or owner-occupants seeking supplemental income.
Prime Location: Situated in South Berkeley, the property boasts excellent access to UC Berkeley, vibrant cafes, restaurants, and major transportation options including BART and express buses to San Francisco, ensuring high tenant demand.
Vacant Owner's Unit: The expansive 3-bedroom, 2-bath owner's unit is vacant, providing immediate flexibility for an owner-occupant or the ability to set market-rate rent without existing tenant complications.
Unique Mid-Century Design: The property features a timeless modern mid-century design with distinctive geometric lines, offering architectural character and excellent livability that can attract discerning tenants and buyers.
First Time on Market: Being offered for the first time on the market indicates a rare opportunity for a multi-unit property in a highly sought-after area, potentially suggesting long-term ownership and care.
Cons
Age of Building Systems: Constructed in 1963, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roofing, HVAC) may be original or aging, potentially requiring significant capital investment for upgrades or replacement.
Limited Lot Size: The 4000 sqft lot size is relatively modest for a triplex, which could limit outdoor amenities, green space, or future expansion possibilities, potentially impacting tenant appeal or property value growth.
Lack of Explicit Parking Information: In a dense urban area like Berkeley, the absence of specific mention of dedicated parking for three units could be a significant drawback for residents and impact rental desirability and convenience.
