About This Home

As of January 2021

How about a quintessential Berkeley brown shingle furnished rental home in the heart of the Elmwood Neighborhood? 2800 Kelsey Street was designed & built in 1912 by Leola Hall, a noted architect of many houses in Berkley’s Elmwood Neighborhood. This cozy craftsman has many custom features such as built-in cabinetry, several built-in bookcases throughout the house, and a special “pass through” from the kitchen to the formal dining room’s buffet. The Main floor offers an efficient kitchen with a gourmet stove and pantry, a laundry area, a large formal dining room with outdoor access, a half bath, and a cozy living room with a piano. Upstairs you will find three sunny bedrooms, a sunroom, & one full bathroom. Outside there is a storage area, big enough for a couple of bikes. The wide front porch provides a quiet place for coffee and conversation. The property has convenient access to College Avenue shops and stores, as well as local transit to BART, San Francisco, & Highways 13, 24 & 80.
