1615 Blake St, Berkeley

Delightful Berkeley-Style Triplex
Open Sat 5/10 and Sun 5/11, 2-4 pm

Don’t miss this classic Craftsman bungalow plus two charming studio units nestled in the sunny fenced back yard. This unusually flexible property offers so many options, including but not limited to multi-generational living, co-housing, and home + income*. The incredibly convenient neighborhood merits a 95 Walker’s Paradise®. BART, UC Berkeley, downtown, Berkeley High, Berkeley Bowl, Monterey Market, and 4th Street shops are all within a 1-mile radius. The Craftsman details in the front house–-fireplace, built-ins, wood trim and moldings, and vintage light fixtures–-really shine, and so do the refinished matchstick oak floors. The eat-in-kitchen opens to the yard, and has been restored and refreshed, with new (2025) counters, sink, faucet, vent hood, Schoolhouse Electric light fixtures, and a Bosch dishwasher (on order, will be installed prior to closing). The original cabinets, fir floors add just the right touch of warmth. Less visible, but so reassuring, the house has been fully rewired and has a new 100 amp circuit breaker panel! Each of the studio units has great light, an eat-in kitchen, a full bath, and an open living/sleeping area. The top unit has a new (2025) heat pump for heating and cooling. The long driveway provides plenty of room for off-street parking.  All in all a wonderful compound.
