Edwardian Triplex with Character, Spacious Grounds & Flexible Living Options

Set on a generous, fenced-in lot in West Berkeley, this Edwardian triplex offers a rare combination of architectural character, substantial improvements, outdoor space, and flexible living arrangements. The property consists of one spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath upper residence and two 1-bedroom, 1-bath lower units.

The signature residence of the property, the upper 2-bedroom unit, is an inviting showcase of period character and thoughtful updates. A covered front porch opens to an interior with tall ceilings and freshly refinished hardwood floors throughout. The light-filled living room features a bay window, while original-style pocket doors lead to a separate formal dining room with a second bay window. The adjoining renovated kitchen combines custom cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, recessed lighting, and a butcher-block island (1998). French doors open to a private rear deck, with steps leading down to the expansive backyard. Both bedrooms are generously sized and offer direct access to the updated bathroom (1998).

The two lower units are well maintained and feature laminate flooring, double-pane windows, and private laundry. One lower unit also includes a refreshed bathroom with a new vanity (2026). All three residences have their own laundry and individual hot water heaters, with separately metered gas and electric service.

Extensive renovations in the past include lifting the home and installing a modern foundation, a complete electrical rewire, new 200-amp main service, new copper water lines and drains, and new gas piping throughout (1995-1996).

A long driveway with swinging gate extends to the rear concrete patio adjoining a sunny, grassy backyard. Two mature, producing fig trees provide shade to a second, secluded stone patio at the back of the property. Mature front landscaping, including a rose bush, maple tree, and purple irises, adds to the home's established curb appeal.

One of the lower units is currently leased at $1,915 per month, while the other two units, including the spacious upper 2-bedroom, are currently vacant.

Conveniently located just a few blocks from the vibrant 4th Street shopping district and offers easy access to I-80. Berkeley Bowl West, Berkeley Marina, Aquatic Park, East Bay Nursery, Passione Emporio, and Vik's Chaat are all nearby, placing an array of shopping, dining, recreation, and everyday conveniences within easy reach.

With its flexible configuration, thoughtful improvements, and convenient setting, this home offers a versatile property with plenty of room to make it your own.
