This property features two distinct homes: a newly built, all-electric contemporary ADU and a meticulously reimagined 1910 Craftsman. The ADU boasts modern finishes, engineered wood floors, a chef's kitchen with quartz counters and an induction range, and is built to net-zero-ready standards. The Craftsman has been extensively renovated, featuring a modern kitchen with a Wolf range and granite counters, well-maintained hardwood floors, and a charming, yet updated, bathroom with a clawfoot tub and new tile. Both units present as virtually new or recently renovated to a very high standard, with no visible deferred maintenance and high-quality, current-standard components throughout.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income/Multi-Generational Potential: The property features two distinct homes on one lot (a single-family home and a detached ADU), offering versatile options for rental income, multi-generational living, or a live-work arrangement.
Modern, Energy-Efficient ADU: The newly built, all-electric ADU is designed to net-zero-ready standards, includes HRV filtration, EV-ready parking, and is exempt from rent control, appealing to modern and environmentally conscious buyers/investors.
Charming & Updated Historic Craftsman: The front 1910 Craftsman beautifully blends period charm (bay windows, hardwood floors, built-ins, clawfoot tub) with modern updates, including a renovated kitchen with a Wolf range and granite counters.
Outstanding Walkability & Transit Access: With a Walk Score of 90 and Bike Score of 100, the property offers excellent urban convenience, located minutes from Ashby BART and popular Berkeley/Oakland neighborhoods and amenities.
High-Quality Finishes & Construction: Both residences boast high-end finishes, including premium kitchen appliances (Wolf, induction range), quartz/granite counters, engineered wood floors, and the ADU benefits from the latest seismic and energy engineering.

Cons

High Price Point: The list price of over $2 million represents a significant investment, which may limit the pool of potential buyers despite the dual-unit offering.
Limited Bathrooms in Main Craftsman: The 3-bedroom Craftsman home only features one bathroom, which could be a functional drawback for families or multiple occupants.
Potential for Shared Lot Dynamics: While offering flexibility, having two separate residences on a single lot might introduce considerations regarding shared outdoor space, privacy, or potential noise for some buyers, especially if one unit is rented.
