Rare opportunity to own in the heart of Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto. Located on a quiet residential street just steps from Chez Panisse, Peet’s Coffee, and Epicurious Garden, 1512 Walnut features two main units: a flexible 1BD/1BA (convertible to 2BD), and a two-level 3BD/1.5BA with Bay-view balcony and hot tub. Both delivered vacant. Bonus features include a basement bonus unit, four separate storage areas, five off-street parking spaces, and on-site and in-unit laundry. Just four blocks from UC Berkeley’s Northside campus. Ideal for owner-occupants or investors seeking multiple income streams from residential units, parking, storage, and more—all in one of Berkeley’s most vibrant and amenity-rich neighborhoods.
