About This Home
As of August 2021Live in Elmwood and enjoy the good life! This 1946 two-story unit lives more like a townhouse with the living space on the main level, and two-bedrooms and full bath on the upper level. With 11 total units, this is one of only two units that face Russell Street, allowing for wonderful south-facing light throughout the day, and yet set back enough to allow for peace and quiet. The living room and dining room are well-proportioned, and lead to the original kitchen w/ updated appliances. There is access to a small shared yard. Upstairs, the front bedroom is of gracious size with a large closet. The unit comes with one covered parking spot and a generous storage unit (built in 2010). Modern conveniences include a tankless water heater, and A/C for those warmer days. This is a great home-alternative for those seeking to be in a fantastic Berkeley location. Professional HOA. College Ave shops, Cal campus, Alta Bates, Whole Foods and Rockridge BART are all within a short distance. A must see!
