Fantastic new renovation of pristine Victorian flat. This is the upper unit in the duplex, it has terrific 10 foot ceilings with rounded corners in every room, which makes the entire unit feel spacious and open. There are upscale finishes and hardwood floors in the living areas and pristine carpet in bedrooms. Super convenient Central Berkeley location - get anywhere you need in just a few minutes! 6 blocks south from Shattuck, BART, and all the restaurants and shops in downtown Berkeley. 4 blocks from Berkeley High School and Berkeley farmer's market, and Becky Temko Tot Park is 2 blocks away.

This stately Victorian is surrounded by trees on a flat, quiet street. The entrance to the upper unit is on the side of the house, up a set of stairs to a large open front porch. A wide, wooden front door opens directly into a large, open room. The bedrooms and kitchen are all off this central gathering room, which accesses two full bathrooms. On your left are two 2 large front bedrooms, also with 10-foot ceilings and tall windows (double-paned) that let in tons of natural light. Both spacious bedrooms have double closets with mirrored doors and overlook the front of the house. On the left of the central gathering room is a 3rd room, identical to the bedrooms, that can be used as a 3rd bedroom, an office, a playroom, or whatever your heart desires! The first bathroom has conveniently 2 accesses, from the second bedroom and the living room.

The spacious, updated kitchen is fully open to the central gathering area, and also features the laundry area. It has a pretty new tile backsplash, deep sink with gooseneck faucet, stainless steel appliances, and 5-burner gas stove with hood. You can tuck a breakfast table in the corner and enjoy the sunshine through the tall Victorian windows, and there are plenty of cabinets and countertops for meal prep and storage.

The 2nd full bathroom is conveniently located at the entrance of the unit.

The shared rear patio behind the house is just waiting for plant lovers to come and make it flourish! This unit comes with access to the locking storage shed in the back of the house for bikes and gear, and one off-street parking spot.

"This is a fairly quiet street, with some foot and car traffic since it connects to Sacramento Street and University Ave. But it's much more neighborhood-oriented than it seems, and close to daycare/dog park/cafe/bakery."

"I live almost on the corner of Bancroft and Roosevelt, and have lived in central Berkeley for two straight decades now. It's a great neighborhood - I see there's supposed to be a bit higher crime not far from here, but in all these years I've seen only one crime - a mugging wherein a Berkeley high graduate about 19 years old, tried to steal an earbud for a cell phone from a high school girl. He didn't get the earbud and the police caught him and a couple others with the minimum of fuss. That's it, although I've heard of a couple other small crimes more toward university. To live here is to feel very safe, and really be in walking distance to UC, and all kinds of shops, restaurants and so on. The little tot parks are real nice, especially the one on Roosevelt, and walking is very enjoyable due to all the lovely landscaping done in this area around private homes. Neighbors are great. I love living here except for having to get a parking permit - which is cheap and easy to do really."
