Description

Unique restoration opportunity of an historic Berkeley brown shingle in this highly desirable North Elmwood border community on a quiet block near great Elementary Schools - if restoring a beautiful period home is your calling. Sited on a level lot with nice sized yard, nestled in trees, this spacious 2500+sqft house offers 4 bedrooms on the upper floor with an easy location to add an en-suite primary bath to the rear yard facing bedroom. Formal living and dining rooms grace the front of the home with the eat-in kitchen opening to the back yard. Full baths are conveniently available on both the ground and upper levels. Just 5 blocks in either direction gets you to shopping or the heart of the UC Berkeley Campus. This property will move fast due to both desirability and need. It's been in the same family for over 60 years and while it needs many system and cosmetic updates, the reward for this classic home is immeasurable. Requires cash purchase or lathe/plaster ceiling patches and bath floor repairs to get conventional loan.
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 June 02, 2023

    "Lots of students in the area because of the proximity to UC Berkeley. Its also a very political area, marches and cops and helicopters are not uncommon in response to the political climate. "

    "I lived in this neighborhood for 3 years. Since it's just south of the UC Berkeley campus, there is a lot of foot traffic and noise when school is in session. Mostly students live in this neighborhood but there are a ton of homeless people lying on the sidewalks and they can get pretty aggressive. Plenty of cheap restaurants catering to students as well."

    "Berkeley has high property taxes with the outcome of good public services and excellent schools. This part of south Berkeley is bicycle friendly with great grocery stores (perhaps the best options in the State!) plus neighbors who walk and know each other. A very enjoyable & diverse neighborhood."

    "A perfect 10-15 minute walk to the Cal Campus or the upscale, but delicious Elmwood area. Animal friendly neighborhood, with a fairly strong neighborhood association. The Julia Morgan Theater and Benvenue Public Library as well as excellent schools are just some of the treasures of this area."
