The McGrath House – A Rare Opportunity in Iconic Normandy Village/North Campus/Berkeley Hills. Priced to Sell! The McGrath House is a Craftsman Duplex (FULLY VACANT) with excellent rental potential, perched in Berkeley’s coveted Normandy Village. This architectural gem offers sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, Downtown Oakland, Berkeley Hills, and the UC Berkeley Campus. Just blocks from the Northside of Cal Campus, the Rose Garden, Chez Panisse, Cheese Board, Memorial Stadium, and the Gourmet Ghetto. This prime location puts the very best of Berkeley at your doorstep, providing sweeping views, excellent schools, and walkability, while keeping you out of the high fire zone. Live in one unit and rent the other, or bring your contractor and reimagine the McGrath House to it's original glory as a grand single-family residence. With its rich history, unbeatable location, and endless potential, this is a truly rare find in Berkeley's best neighborhood. Only six Duplexes have sold in the neighborhood in the last 24 months. Opportunity knocks.
