About This Home

As of July 2020

Here is a perfect little slice of Berkeley. Nestled behind 2525 College Avenue is a freestanding condo cottage, part of a three unit complex. Classic Brown Shingle, with all the period details you'd hope to find, modernized for easy living. It feels more like a house than a condo with its own ample garden space and deck. The loft adds extra flexibility beyond the one bedroom. In the desirable Elmwood neighborhood, it's close to extraordinary retail & dining, UC Berkeley, Rockridge, and transportation options.
