    What's special

    Don't miss this opportunity to reimagine and develop your dream home in the Berkeley flats. This bungalow has been lovingly owned by only two families since 1910 -- you could be lucky number three! Zoned R-2, this home is prime for development, expansion, or ADU with a huge basement currently used as storage and a 5000 sq ft lot. Bordering both established Westbrae and up-and-coming University Village, this home is ready for a makeover and hip new owners, like you! Whole Foods, REI, Chipotle, Tokyo Fish Market, Gilman and Fieldwork breweries (and 924 Gilman for you punk rockers) are blocks away.
