Property Description

Calling all visionaries: this South Berkeley bungalow is ready for its next chapter. 1514 Russell Street is a classic 1920 Berkeley home with original hardwood floors, generous room sizes, a fireplace, and plenty of character and potential. The home needs significant updating and deferred maintenance and is being offered as-is—a true fixer-upper opportunity for a contractor, investor, or buyer ready to renovate and make it their own. A detached garage provides additional storage, workshop, or future-use potential. Location is a major part of the opportunity, with Ashby BART, Berkeley Bowl, and the restaurants, shops, and local businesses along the Adeline corridor nearby, plus convenient access to Downtown Berkeley, UC Berkeley, Oakland, and major East Bay destinations. This part of South Berkeley blends residential streets with everyday convenience—transit, shopping, and dining all close by. The work is here. So is the potential. Make it your own.
