What's around 1521 Josephine Street

About this property

1521 Josephine Street is a uniquely compelling opportunity to own a fully vacant four-unit property in North Berkeley’s famed Gourmet District. Tucked between Cedar and Vine on a picturesque tree-lined street, this vintage brown shingle compound features two charming buildings surrounded by greenery, flowers, vines, and inviting outdoor spaces that capture the natural beauty of North Berkeley. The front building includes a spacious three-bedroom and three full bath primary residence with hardwood floors, generous rooms, and a mix of meaningful architectural details and thoughtful updates throughout. Below it sits a large one-bedroom and one-bath unit with high ceilings and a comfortable layout. The rear building offers two twin studio units in an upper and lower unit configuration, ideal for rental income*, extended family, or flexible living. The property sits on a beautifully landscaped lot with layered plantings, Japanese maples, a welcoming front patio wrapped in green vines, and a wide back deck that creates harmonious integration of indoor and outdoor living. Fully vacant and ready for the next owner, this is a rare chance to purchase a multi-unit property in Berkeley with outstanding access to shops, restaurants, UC Berkeley, parks and more! *Buyer to investigate.
