About This Home
As of September 2022Ideal location and absolute charm in the heart of the Elmwood. Tucked away off the street on a shared lot, this stand-alone detached brown-shingle Craftsman is surrounded by lush gardens and mature foliage. Enter via brick pathway to a sunny and spacious living and dining room, remodeled kitchen, family room and large sliders that open to an expansive deck and lawn for wonderful in-door outdoor flow and al-fresco dining. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a sunny balcony. Additional bonus space in finished attic provides an ideal get-away for office, art-space or guests. Technically a site condo it feels like a stand-alone home. Well maintained and absolutely private, it has 2 off street parking spaces and an abundance of storage. Located in close proximity to the Elmwood shops and restaurants, library, schools, BART and the great commute. A truly rare find in one of Berkeley’s most desirable neighborhoods.
