Property Description
Have You Found Pure Berkeley Potential? Have you heard about the sweetest opportunity in the East Bay? Will you be the one to polish this Central Berkeley diamond in the rough, & will you reap the rewards? Just far enough off the main drags to be peaceful, the classic wood shingles & old Berkeley aesthetic tell the tale of a place that has been loved in & lived in for decades, filled with stories & community. With a 99 BikesScore, a 95 Walkscore, a playground & park across the street, you will find everything you could want, right at your fingertips. 1716 Hearst is ready for a new owner to put their stamp on it & bring out its inner potential. Speaking of potential: It is 3 bedrooms & 2 baths on public record, but the space is configured with 4 bedrooms & 1.5 baths in the main house, plus a large detached back structure. The back structure has its own kitchen, bathroom, AND its own gas & electric meters. With other things like a BESO score of 4, it needs some love for sure, but who doesn’t? I dare you, come stand out on the back deck, enjoy the spacious yard, & try NOT to imagine the possibilities! *Bed and Bath count differs. Buyer to investigate.
