Mid-century Investment Opportunity in Berkeley

2925 Dohr Street carries a rich piece of South Berkeley history. Built by Charles and Agnes (“Sweetie”) Henderson, the great aunt and great uncle of the current owners, the property reflects a legacy of family, community, and care. Uncle Charles was a Pullman Porter, one of the most respected positions available to Black men in the 1940s and 1950s. The Hendersons purchased the lot, moved a home onto it, and later constructed 2925 Dohr Street as part of their vision for family housing. In the 1960s, the building was purchased by the current owners’ parents, who continued that tradition by renting to relatives and members of their extended community. The neighborhood was home to at least five of their mother’s relatives who had moved to the Bay Area from Oklahoma, forming a close-knit network that shaped the block for generations. For decades, the family intentionally kept the rent rates low as their way of giving back to the community.

Now, for the first time in decades, this beloved property is ready for its next stewards.

Calling all investors or seekers of a multi-unit property. South Berkeley triplex with two vacant units, blocks from San Pablo Park. Excellent 88 Walk Score® and 93 Bike Score™. Ample off-street parking and a garage for each unit. Sewer lateral compliant.

Neighborhood

You can't get closer to the University of California, Berkeley campus than South Berkeley, the neighborhood originally developed in the 1860s by the school’s predecessor, the College of California. The latter institution may be long gone, but the large, spacious, brown-shingled homes along Allston, Bancroft, Channing, and Dwight ways remain. Densely populated, the neighborhood contains some of the city’s oldest homes.
South Berkeley is a mix of students, longtime residents, businesses, and homes. The major thoroughfares are Telegraph Avenue, Bancroft Way, and Alcatraz Avenue, where street vendors, bookstores, record shops, and inexpensive eateries cater to students. Nightlife is abundant, thanks to the proximity to campus, Zellerbach Hall, and Downtown Berkeley.
Both the Ashby and Downtown Berkeley BART stations serve the neighborhood, as do a number of Alameda-Contra Costa Transit buses, making it a snap to get to downtown San Francisco, local airports, sports stadiums, and other locations in the Bay Area.
