About 2720 Martin Luther King Jr Way

2718 & 2720 Martin Luther King Jr. Way is a classic and gracious duplex of the Edwardian era that has been renovated in a way that typifies Berkeley’s character: updates that feel custom, handcrafted, reclaimed, and unique, yet in keeping with vintage charm. Add to that, you’ll enjoy the modern comforts of major structural improvements such as foundation replacement (2017), new roof (2020), premium dual pane windows (2022), copper plumbing, and modern electrical. 2718 (upper) has four large bedrooms over two levels, with two full bathrooms, one on each level. 2720 (lower) has two bedrooms and one full bathroom. Each unit enjoys a private deck right off the back that also leads to a shared patio at the garden level that allows for more entertaining space. Both units have in-unit laundry, and are separately metered for electric and gas. A rebuilt two-car garage has its entry on the less-traveled Ward Street around the corner. The configuration lends itself to either multigenerational living or, if owner-occupied, an investment that benefits from "Golden Duplex" status. Conveniently located just blocks away from Berkeley Bowl and Ashby BART, close to parks, schools, downtown, and UCB–this is the perfect Berkeley duplex!
