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!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
