About This Home
As of February 2025Location, location, location! This street-level condo in a two-unit building on a corner lot lives like a single-family house, with high ceilings throughout, a large, eat-in kitchen with ample cabinet space and a spacious, fenced, deeded(!) landscaped yard with deck and gate to sidewalk. Period details abound, including redwood trim and details in living & dining rooms like box-beam ceilings, built-in cabinetry and shelving, fireplace insert, wood-clad walls w/ dish rail, and even (gasp!) a pocket door. Three bedrooms and 1.5 baths make for easy living. Interior laundry room with washer and dryer included. Freshly painted with an updated full bath. This property is eagerly awaiting a new owner who will appreciate the opportunity to own in beautiful South Berkeley on Bicycle Boulevard, close to Berkeley Bowl, Sports Basement, Tim Mollering Field, Equinox, Funky Door Yoga, Orange Theory Fitness, La Note, Berkeley Bowl, Kirala Sushi, Alta Bates, and all the rich history and amenities that the area has to offer, all without being too close to the buzz of the nearby Berkeley High and UC Berkeley campuses.
