Description

North-facing and newly upgraded, 2420 Hillside Ave is one of Berkeley’s rare finds—where charm, flexibility, and location collide. With over $90,000 in renovations and brand-new roofs on both the main home and detached 2-car garage, this 2-bed, 2-bath, 1,854 sq ft residence on a 5,573 sq ft lot blends modern comfort with timeless appeal. The property is currently used as a single-family home but is classified as a duplex on tax records, allowing it to be reconverted for multi-unit living. The detached garage with workshop below offers ideal ADU potential, creating a path for up to 3 units. Inside, you’ll find premium waterproof flooring, recessed lighting, new paint, baseboards, and fixtures throughout. The main level features a bright open floor plan, a remodeled kitchen with quartzite waterfall counters, and a dining deck overlooking the creek. The upstairs bath includes new plumbing, electrical, and a seamless walk-in shower. Downstairs offers the primary bedroom, full bath, office, bonus room with Tonal gym, and a separate laundry room with sink and storage. Minutes from UC Berkeley, Greek Row, Gourmet Ghetto, and downtown, this turnkey property delivers lifestyle, investment, and location in one exceptional package.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from January 15, 2026

    "I grew up on Oakvale Ave & Domingo, and even as a kid I felt that Claremont was the best neighborhood ever: so many families, with genuine community spirit, and all kinds of beautiful, secret places to explore (safely). Now that I’ve lived in Palo Alto, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Manhattan—and raising my own three children in Brooklyn—it’s clear to me that this neighborhood is a uniquely special, sometimes magical, place to grow up. I wish I could move it to Brooklyn!"

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 "
