2312 Durant Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704

This beautiful 1905 fourplex is a quintessential Berkeley Brown Shingle in the heart of Central Berkeley, directly across the street from the glorious Berkeley City Club. In the same family for decades, this property features three studio apartments currently rented to students, 6 rental parking spaces, one owner's space, and a stunningly lovely, vacant 5-bedroom unit that is filled with old world charm and grace.  Upon entering the lobby of the property there are three doors. Behind two of the doors is a legal studio apartment. Behind the third are washer dryer hookups as well as extra storage. The third studio can be accessed from its own private staircase at the back of the property.  You ascend the stairs and are met with the 5-bedroom unit that is vacant and staged. The second level features a master suite and another nice-sized bedroom of which we are showing as a sitting room, a full bath, and a one-quarter bath. The large kitchen with a pantry and a formal dining room that was once a covered porch, as well as a living room are on this level, too. There is also a hookup for a washer and dryer in the pantry area off the kitchen. Two nice balconies are located on this level, one off the kitchen and the other off the living room. Up one more level to three additional bedrooms and one bathroom. The views of the surrounding urban landscape are quite lovely from this level. The property features lovely wood floors throughout, large kitchen and pantry areas, a formal dining room/living room combination and so much more. A newly painted interior and lighting upgrades make the place sparkle and shine. The property has lovely and expansive rooms throughout. Just a couple of blocks to Telegraph shops, the University of California and right next door to the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association, this property would qualify for landmark status if the new buyer so desires.  Own a piece of history in the heart of Berkeley!
