Property Description
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.

Recorded sales in this period (0)
No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
