Overview

1734 Spruce is a turnkey 7-unit multifamily property featuring a unit mix of one studio, two 1-bedroom 1-bath units, three 2-bedroom 1-bath units, and one 3-bedroom 2-bath unit. Recent upgrades include installation of a fire sprinkler system, on-demand water heaters, roof replacement, exterior painting, and voluntary seismic and electrical/plumbing updating. The property sits on a large lot, creating an opportunity for ADU construction in the rear.

The building is located one block from UC Berkeley and is within walking distance of the campus area. It is also described as walkable to North Berkeley BART, multiple grocery stores, parks, and a variety of nearby restaurants.

This configuration is well suited for an investor or owner-operator seeking a smaller income property with a balanced mix of studios through 3-bedroom layouts and documented building improvements. The combination of recent system work and the potential for rear-lot ADUs may appeal to buyers focused on strengthening day-to-day livability while exploring additional on-site housing options.
