About This Home

As of June 2021

Known for its quaint, tree-lined streets, proximity to the UC Berkeley campus, & convenient access to BART, it is no wonder that people are drawn to Berkeley's Elmwood neighborhood. A short stroll from the historic Elmwood Shopping District, you'll find this freshly painted & widely updated condo. You'll appreciate how natural light filters in through the white, interior shutters & highlights the open-concept homes' hardwood floors. The eat-in kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, shaker cabinets, & a cozy breakfast bar. From the elegant French doors leading to the spacious bedroom to the bathroom's new pedestal sink, classic charm graces every corner of this quiet condo. You'll benefit from in-unit laundry, a walk-in closet, & an approx. 200 sq ft bonus space previously used by prior Seller for storage /workshop. Catch a movie at Elmwood's retro theatre, visit a museum, or hike through some of the area's lush parks. Elmwood truly is the Best of Berkeley!
