About this House

Location: South Berkeley, Lorin District 1.7 Miles to UC Berkeley campus. 5 minute walk to ASHBY BART
Available May 1 or sooner.

This airy space has fabulous sunlight all day long with lovely views of trees! Wonderful garden and patio and shared backyard. Amazing, to find this in an urban setting a little over a mile from the UC campus! Sun-drenched living spaces, electric fireplace, maple wood flooring and a wall of windows with abundant sunshine! Wonderful Kitchen fitted with maple cabinets, dark granite counters, beautiful natural stone floors and stainless steel appliances. Dishwasher. Pretty bath! Laundry on site.

 Bikes can be stored in garage for a small fee.

Great Transportation. The property is close to all major freeways, 20 minutes from San Francisco. 10 minutes from down town Oakland, 5 minutes to Emeryville and 5 minutes to down town Berkeley and U.C. Campus. Ashby Bart is a 5 minute walk. Easy commute to SF! One block from Berkeley's famous bike path network which goes across town and to UC. A Bus is practically at your door step one block away! Buslines F, 15 and 12 provide service down town, all around UC campus. One former resident told me it took him 15 minutes from west campus to 1623 Alcatraz by bus....

This property is unfurnished.

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
