About This Home
Welcome to 2603 Benvenue Ave. #3, a townhome-style condominium in Berkeley's sought-after Elmwood neighborhood. Tucked inside a charming four-unit brown shingle building, this light-filled home features hardwood floors, an open living and dining area, and a private outdoor space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Just blocks from UC Berkeley, College Avenue, Telegraph Avenue, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, local shops, and the Greek Theatre, you'll enjoy one of Berkeley's most vibrant neighborhoods. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a campus home, or an investment opportunity, this location puts everything within easy reach. Beyond its timeless character, 2603 Benvenue Avenue is part of Berkeley's rich history. The building became nationally recognized in 1974 during the Patty Hearst case, making it one of the city's most well-known historic addresses. While the event occurred in a different apartment within the building, the property remains a unique part of Berkeley's story, adding to the character and legacy of this iconic neighborhood.
