1934 Haste St, Berkeley, CA 94704

Rebuilt from the foundation up and finaled in 2017, this early 1890s Barker Tract Victorian keeps its corner turret, two-story bay windows, bracketed eaves and turned porch posts on nearly new bones: new foundation, all new mechanical, electrical and plumbing, and rebuilt interiors. Built by Berkeley pioneer James L. Barker on Haste Street, which he opened through his own tract in 1891. Out front, 2026 brought a new gate with stone-faced pillars, new entry tile and stucco, a new walkway and landing, and a new lawn and planting beds. The lower level is single-story living at ground level: about 1,344 sf, 4 bd/2 ba, delivered vacant. Above it, the two-story upper level spans the second floor and attic: about 1,981 sf, 6 bd/4 ba, very high ceilings on the second floor, currently leased. Each level has its own entrance, kitchen, laundry and electrical subpanel, for 3,325 sf in all per the 2017 permit plans. Plans in City review add a single-story, 1,200 sf, 3 bd/2 ba detached ADU where the old garage stood at the back of the 6,750 sf lot, bringing the total to about 4,525 sf once built. Live on one level and rent the other, or hold it all as income. Off-street parking for four. On a flat, walkable block about 0.4 mi from Downtown Berkeley BART and the Saturday farmers' market on Center Street, a few blocks from Berkeley High and about half a mile from the UC campus.
