BoHo Berkeley at its Best! This interesting 1911 brown shingle home on the MLK corridor in Central Berkeley was used as a rental for many years. Ideally situated to house many students, that is what the sellers did, and made almost every room a bedroom! Now, the property is waiting for someone to restore it to its original grandeur, with lovely period details still intact. Many unusual choices have been made throughout the years, and the new owner will either relish them or work with an architect to make this place really shine. There is a large open great room space and bonus room. Needless to say, the property is convenient to shops, transit, and commute directions, and the BoHo vibe it has is really delightful.
