About 1901 - 1903 Harmon Street
Welcome Home
Welcome to 1901–1903 Harmon Street, a charming and well-maintained up/down duplex located in one of Berkeley’s most vibrant and sought-after neighborhoods. Built in 1913, this classic property blends timeless architectural details with thoughtful modern updates, making it an ideal opportunity for both first-time homebuyers and seasoned investors. Priced at $995,000, this versatile duplex offers the chance to own in a dynamic community while generating rental income from day one.
Each of the two spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom units features beautiful hardwood floors, generous living areas, and period charm throughout. Both units include formal dining rooms, in-unit laundry, private decks, and gas stoves, creating warm and functional living environments. The upper unit is filled with natural light and features a large walk-in closet just off the expansive living room, as well as a modern tankless water heater for added energy efficiency. The lower unit includes a flexible bonus space under the stairs—perfect as a home office, walk-in closet, or extra storage. The upstairs tenant, who has been in residence for just under a year, pays $3,200/month and is a fantastic steward of the home. The lower unit is currently vacant and move-in ready.
The property has seen recent upgrades, most notably a brand-new roof installed in October 2024, offering peace of mind and reduced maintenance for years to come. The backyard is a hidden gem, featuring a Buddha’s hand lemon tree, a patio ideal for summer entertaining, and lush landscaping that creates a private, tranquil retreat. The front yard is just as special, showcasing a Meyer lemon tree and a rare young Ruby Magnolia tree, adding beauty and botanical distinction to the home's welcoming curb appeal. A private driveway with an EV charger offers modern convenience, and two large storage units at the rear of the property provide ample space for bikes, tools, or seasonal items.
Ideally located just minutes from BART, Berkeley Bowl, and a wide array of shops, cafes, and restaurants, 1901–1903 Harmon Street offers the very best of Berkeley living. The neighborhood is walkable, bustling, and community-oriented, with easy access to public transportation and daily amenities.
Whether you’re looking to live in one unit and rent the other, or add a turnkey property to your real estate portfolio, this duplex offers a rare combination of charm, location, and income potential.
Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of Berkeley history—updated for today’s lifestyle and surrounded by nature’s beauty.
