About this House

Located in the heart of North Berkeley's residential area, this large one bedroom apartment is one block away from UC Berkeley's campus and two blocks from Shattuck Ave. The apartment is within short walking distance of the city's best cafes, grocery stores, and restaurants. Public transportation and the Bart station are within walking distance as well.

This sunny, bright, charming, extra large one bedroom North Berkeley apartment has been tastefully remodeled and furnished to create a modern, yet homely feel. The unit is equipped with new appliances: fridge, gas range and oven, and a continuous water heater. This is a second floor unit and one of the four units in the building. Hardwood floors throughout with tiles in the bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen has an ample amount of counter and cabinet space. The apartment is full of natural light and is slightly over 860 sq/ft.

The relatively large nook off of the kitchen can be re-purposed as office or keep as dinning area. The extra large and sunny living room includes bay windows that overlooks the front yard, two built-in bookshelves, plus it is augmented with a rather large closet for extra storage or general purpose usage. The spacious bedroom comes with a walk-in closet. There is a small patio off of kitchen that can be used for a small barbecue. Apartment is lightly furnished (Queen bed, coach, chairs, dinning table, microwave, kitchen ware). Sorry no fireplace and no dishwasher.

    "I have been living at the cross of Virginia and Spruce for nearly 5 years and loved it. It's quiet, close to the university. 10 min walk from Downtown Berkeley BART, 3 movies theaters, Groceries (Safeway, Walgreens) and a lot of restaurants. Berkeley gourmet ghetto is 4 blocks away. In addition to that, you're very close to Berkeley Hills and Tilden park. Top neighborhood."
