About This Home

As of May 2025

Top-floor, Golden Gate views, and a location that brings it all together — welcome to 2601 College Ave, Unit 308! Whether you see yourself heading to the Elmwood for a croissant, or making your way to UC Berkeley to study or work, this is a home base with heart. Tucked on the top floor of a well located building, Unit 308 is quiet, light-filled, and perfectly positioned for balance between campus buzz and neighborhood charm. Inside, you’ll find mid-century character blended with just-right modern updates. Sip your morning tea while taking in the verdant hillside views from the kitchen, then later watch the sun set behind the Golden Gate Bridge from your living room or bedroom—it’s the kind of view that never gets old. Three spacious closets keep life organized, while a dedicated parking space in the secure garage and a shared laundry room keep it all easy. The HOA has you covered, too—with hot water, heat, and even earthquake insurance included. Equal parts convenience and calm, this sweet spot is less than half a mile to campus and the Elmwood. But let’s be honest—the photos don’t do it justice. You’ll want to experience that view in person!
