1744 Addison

1744 Addison — Is this the best deal in Berkeley? Tucked into one of Berkeley’s most walkable neighborhoods, this extensively remodeled home blends classic Berkeley charm with the kind of major upgrades buyers are constantly searching for but rarely find at this price point. With a 97 Walk Score® and perfect 100 Bike Score™, you’re just moments from cafés, parks, shopping, transit, and the energy of Central Berkeley.

The home underwent a major renovation, primarily completed in 2024, with additional improvements continuing through 2025 and early 2026. The remodeled kitchen and bathroom were completed with permits and feature new cabinetry, stone countertops, updated tilework, fixtures, and all new appliances. The interior and exterior were freshly painted, hardwood floors refinished, and the home updated with central HVAC, improved electrical, updated plumbing, and sewer lateral replacement.

A new roof and gutters were installed in 2025, adding peace of mind for the next owner. Additional permitted work included upgrades to the electrical and heating systems.

One of the standout features of the property is the dramatically expanded backyard. During ownership, the rear fence was relocated to the original property line, extending the usable yard approximately 8–10 feet and creating a substantially larger outdoor space complete with a new fence, gate, landscaping, drainage improvements, decorative rock, and a peaceful unwinding spot beneath a healthy mature fig tree.

Below the home is an incredible bonus space* rarely found at this price point. A new slab transformed what was previously uneven dirt into approximately 850 square feet of clean storage/workshop/flex space with over 7 feet of clearance. The basement now offers storage space roughly equal to the square footage of the home itself and includes new washer/dryer hookups along with a new washer and dryer.

Additional improvements include new window treatments throughout, refreshed landscaping, and drainage improvements. 

1744 Addison offers a rare combination of location, permitted upgrades, usable bonus space, and modern systems in the heart of Berkeley.
