Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This duplex consists of two identical, flipped floor plans, each configured as 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The property also benefits from a detached garage that provides secure parking and additional storage, along with access to street parking. Per the seller’s remarks, each unit has a Home Energy Score of 10, with Unit 1520 and Unit 1522 both listed at 10.

Located in Berkeley (Alameda County), the property is described as having quick, easy access to public transportation and convenient commuting throughout the Bay Area, including San Francisco. The remarks also note proximity to local shops and dining, with access to the city’s broader amenities.

For buyers, the layout supports flexibility between ownership use and rental income. With one unit currently tenant-occupied and the other vacant, the duplex can accommodate an owner-occupant move-in right away, or provide an investor the option to renovate or upgrade the vacant unit. The two matching units are designed to offer consistent functionality across the property, supported by the detached garage and storage benefits for day-to-day tenant needs.
