Property Description

In the heart of the vibrant Rockridge corridor, two minutes from U.C. Berkeley and the diverse food culture and intellectual energy that define this stretch of the East Bay, 6435–6437 Telegraph Ave presents a rare opportunity: a fully vacant four-plex with character, flexibility, and immediate upside. Built in 1908 and thoughtfully set back from the street behind a canopy of mature trees, this Craftsman property offers something increasingly difficult to find in urban investment real estate: privacy, presence, and practicality. A Walk Score of 94, Bike Score of 100, and Transit Score of 66 confirm what the address already tells you. Daily life here requires no car, Downtown Berkeley is ten minutes by bike or thirteen by transit, and every errand, coffee shop, and restaurant on this stretch of Telegraph is genuinely on foot. The building's appeal extends well beyond its location. Original hardwood floors glow with the patina only decades of living can produce. Vintage fireplaces serve as charming focal points, decorative, warm, and the kind of detail that photographs beautifully and stays in a people's memory long after a showing. Preserved Craftsman details throughout create warmth and identity that no renovation budget can manufacture. On-site laundry, private parking for three to four cars, and major completed capital improvements include a newer roof, upgraded electrical, and reinforced foundation so the work is done and the income can begin immediately. Through the garden gate at the rear of the building, a mature garden oasis has flowering shrubs, established trees, an oversized patio for cookouts and a seated lounge area. Access to the garden is easy from the largest unit is easy through a dedicated stair, or directly from the ground level garden flat. This garden is truly a surprising and genuine retreat from the energy of the city outside. In Bay Area weather, it's usable nearly every day of the year. Four units range from 524 to 970 square feet, each with distinct character. Choose your own house hacking opportunity: owner-occupy the 3-bedroom flagship top floor unit, choose the 1-bedroom garden flat, or one of the studios and build equity. Or, lease all four units in this high demand area to U.C. Berkeley students and faculty, medical staff supporting the numerous hospitals nearby, or other professionals who need easy access to San Francisco and beyond. Historic character. Fully vacant. In the heart of Rockridge.
