Description

Have You Found Pure Berkeley Potential?

Have you heard about the sweetest opportunity in the East Bay? Will you be the one to polish this Central Berkeley diamond in the rough, and will you reap the rewards? Just far enough off the main drags to be peaceful, the classic wood shingles and old Berkeley aesthetic tell the tale of a place that has been loved in and lived in for decades, filled with stories and community. With a 99 BikesScore™, a 95 Walkscore®, a playground and park across the street, you will find everything you could want, right at your fingertips. 1716 Hearst is ready for a new owner to put their stamp on it and bring out its inner potential. Speaking of potential: It is 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on public record, but the space is configured with 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths in the main house*, plus a large detached back structure. The back structure has its own kitchen, bathroom, AND its own gas and electric meters.** With other things like a BESO score of 4, it needs some love for sure, but who doesn’t? I dare you, come stand out on the back deck, enjoy the spacious yard, and try NOT to imagine the possibilities!

*Published Bed and Bath count differs from the public record. Buyer to investigate with the city. Neither seller nor listing agent has verified the accuracy of any of these sources of information. **Buyer to verify use of space. Neither seller nor listing agent has investigated or verified the accuracy of any of these sources of information nor that these spaces are or may be made into legally habitable spaces. Buyer must conduct their own investigation with the city and appropriate professionals and rely solely on that investigation.

Berkeley

Internationally known for its intellectual richness, cultural diversity, and progressive values.

Welcome to Berkeley

Internationally known for its intellectual richness, cultural diversity, and progressive values, Berkeley is a model California city that its residents are proud to call home.
 
With an abundance of restaurants, cafes, museums, bookstores, art galleries, movie theaters, and performance venues befitting a university town, Berkeley has no shortage of activities to stimulate the senses. It’s also an incredibly picturesque city, with tree-lined streets, beautiful gardens, ample parks, and hidden walkways and staircases.
 
Berkeley’s distinct neighborhoods have a range of architectural styles, including charming Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, California cottages, wooded hillside retreats, and magnificent period revival homes. Much of  Berkeley’s real estate is notable for its singular architectural styles, some of which were designed by famed architects Bernard MaybeckJohn Hudson Thomas and Julia Morgan.
 
In addition to being in close proximity to the prestigious University of California at Berkeley, residents also enjoy convenient freeway access to San Francisco, Oakland, and Silicon Valley. Three BART stations (Ashby, Downtown Berkeley, and North Berkeley), as well as the AC Transit bus system, serve the city. If you’re looking for an escape, Tilden Regional Park offers 2,065 acres of trails, meadows and forests, just minutes from downtown. You’ll also find biking trails, a botanical garden, picnic areas, an 18-hole golf course, and a lake for swimming. For kids, there’s a carousel ride, petting zoo, steam train, pony rides, and an environmental education center.
