About This Home

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of South Berkeley’s most convenient pockets, this classic Craftsman bungalow is ready for new vision. Full of character, natural light, and original period charm, the home offers the ideal canvas for someone looking to restore, reimagine, or create their own Berkeley retreat. Outside, a nice-sized backyard provides room to garden, entertain, or expand your outdoor living space—hard to find in this location and full of potential for anyone who wants to design their own oasis. Mature greenery in the front and rear gives the property a natural sense of privacy and charm. The neighborhood is known for its warm community feel and unbeatable access—just minutes to Berkeley Bowl, Ashby BART, cafés, parks, and the vibrant energy that defines Berkeley living. With its authentic Craftsman architecture, great lot, and tremendous upside, 2926 Ellis St is a rare opportunity for buyers, builders, or anyone who loves the beauty of an older home and wants to bring it back to life. A true Berkeley original—ready for your touch.
