About This Home

As of June 2023

Unique restoration opportunity of an historic Berkeley brown shingle in this highly desirable North Elmwood border community on a quiet block near great Elementary Schools - if restoring a beautiful period home is your calling. Sited on a level lot with nice sized yard, nestled in trees, this spacious 2500+sqft house offers 4 bedrooms on the upper floor with an easy location to add an en-suite primary bath to the rear yard facing bedroom. Formal living and dining rooms grace the front of the home with the eat-in kitchen opening to the back yard. Full baths are conveniently available on both the ground and upper levels. Just 5 blocks in either direction gets you to shopping or the heart of the UC Berkeley Campus. This property will move fast due to both desirability and need. It's been in the same family for over 60 years and while it needs many system and cosmetic updates, the reward for this classic home is immeasurable. Requires cash purchase or lathe/plaster ceiling patches and bath floor repairs to get conventional loan.
