About This Home

As of September 2023

Elegant and gracious Craftsman in the heart of Elmwood with sophisticated finishes. Extensively updated kitchen has a stunning new Viking range and bathroom was beautifully remodeled. Mostly single level living, it features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on the main floor and the upstairs level includes an additional bedroom, living area, skylights and full bath. Originally designed by Berkeley architect A. Dodge Coplin in 1907, this well-maintained brown-shingle home retains much of its classic detail. Spacious living room and dining room, each with fireplace and remarkably quiet and generously spaced. Bonus areas include a sunroom or potential office facing the large yard and an additional side yard off the kitchen. 1-car garage and off-street parking. Original floors and wood detailing throughout. All located just steps from College Avenue shops and restaurants as well as trails and transportation. A rare opportunity in one of Berkeley’s most coveted neighborhoods.
