Three side-by-side two-level units at approximately 1,241 sq ft each, with 2-bedroom-plus-flex layouts, two baths, walk-in closets, balconies, and individual attached garages. Updated interiors feature quartz-style kitchens, hardwood floors, skylights, and fresh paint inside a distinctive period exterior with stepped parapet and terra cotta detailing. Fully separately metered —gas, electric, and water —with in-unit laundry in all three units. One delivered vacant, two leased at approximately $4,800/month combined. Move-in ready for an owner-occupier or first-time multifamily investor seeking day-one income in a supply-constrained Berkeley submarket. Two-level units, separate utilities, and three private garages rarely come together at this price. Offered at $1,150,000 —roughly $309/SF.
