About This Home

As of October 2020

Classic Elmwood brown shingle, first time on the market in 76 years with original, unspoiled details intact. Beautiful hardwood floors & craftsman finishes make the living room with old fashioned fireplace & mantlepiece welcome & inviting. The spacious formal dining room will accommodate all those wonderful gatherings we will have in 2021 & beyond & with the real "feel" of early Berkeley. Built in 1909 it reminds us of an earlier time but with endless possibilities to rejuvenate. The oversized plus room on the second floor previously used as a workshop we have presented as a great space for 'at home' class room & ideal Zoom room! A level rear garden is currently growing veggies, beside it is a double size carport which seems a perfect dining pavilion & place for outdoor social distancing. There are plans drawn by an architect & approved by the City for an ADU in this area. This block of Prince is just about perfect. Half a block above College, half a block below Claremont, BART and UC.
