Charming Triplex with Timeless Appeal & Tremendous Potential! Welcome to 1734 Delaware Street. This is a Berkeley triplex beauty full of character and possibility.

The spacious upper Owner’s Unit is a 2+BD/2BA with a flexible bonus space, ideal as a home office or 3rd bedroom with a lovely private balcony. Freshly painted upstairs with refinished hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light, it exudes warmth and vintage charm. A formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, and a private back deck overlooking Ohlone Park add to the everyday magic of living in such a verdant neighborhood. Located just four blocks from North Berkeley BART and close to Trader Joe’s, Berkeley Bowl, 4th Street shops, and the local arts scene, this location scores a 96 Walk Score®.
