Description
Welcome home to one of Berkeley's most coveted pockets. Tucked along Alcatraz Avenue just steps from the College Avenue corridor, this generously sized single-family residence offers approximately 2,511 square feet of light-filled living space, with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a rare and roomy footprint in a neighborhood where space like this seldom comes available. The lower level showcases beautifully refinished oak floors with redwood inlay, while a grand staircase leads to a second level finished with newly installed luxury engineered wood floors. The home has been freshly painted throughout, and new light fixtures bring a modern glow to the living areas and bedrooms. A flexible floor plan gives everyone room to breathe, and the kitchen presents an exciting opportunity to open up the space between it and the adjacent dining room. Imagine the bright, flowing great-room layout today's buyers crave. The upstairs features two separate entrances, ideally set up for a junior ADU, and the property has separate electrical and gas meters, offering excellent flexibility for multigenerational living, a home office, or potential rental income. Step outside to enjoy both front and back yards. The welcoming front yard offers classic curb appeal and an inviting spot to savor your morning coffee, while the private backyard is perfect for gardening, gatherings, or quiet evenings under the stars. Location is everything here. You're moments from the boutiques, cafés, and restaurants of the Elmwood and Rockridge districts, with the Rockridge BART station, AC Transit lines, and easy freeway access putting all of the Bay Area within reach. Top-rated schools, weekend farmers markets, and nearby parks round out the quintessential Berkeley lifestyle. This is the kind of home that anchors a family for years to come, refresh the finishes to suit your taste, or move right in and enjoy a location that speaks for itself. Homes of this size in this high-demand corner are tightly held and rarely last long. BESO score 2.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school has great teachers and traditional education for the most part . My issue with the social aspect is that they don't have a dress code. I understand we are in Berkeley CA and there are nudists but that's different. They allow their girls to wear very tight daisy dukes that show not only the gluteos maximus but the genitals. This has been an ongoing going issue for almost ten years and I really don't understand why. I feel the students should be educated on why it's a bad idea. The students have off campus lunch and harass passer bys and spread what ever infections they have with those genitals shorts. Aside from this real big issue there are some ok teachers there that are trustworthyParent Review8mo ago - Emerson Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe absolutely loved Emerson and thrilled that our child is a student there. The principal Ms. Holmes is amazing and is constantly going above and beyond for the students. Emerson is one of the smaller elementary schools in Berkeley but feel fortunate that there is such a great sense of community among the parents.Parent Review1y ago - Sylvia Mendez Elementary

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePhenomenal school is every way. Diverse and welcome in learning community with high quality teachers in TK and K. My student has thrived here and I can’t wait to see what next school year brings. The after school staff really connected with my student and principal Hunt is a very dedicated. Don’t skip the potluck and movie nights as well as other school functions like back to school etc. they are so so worth it. Forgot to mention one of the best aspects, the specialists! My student has dance, garden, nutrition/ wellness, and art!Parent Review3y ago - Willard Middle School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had a horrible time at Willard. While some of the teachers were excellent (we had some great math teachers, for example) and we loved the cooking and gardening programs, bullying was a huge problem that, despite many, many complaints to the school, went un-addressed. My child was bullied mercilessly by another child the entire time and that other child would basically play innocent - it was never dealt with beyond that. My child is in high school now and we have spent thousands of dollars in therapy to help them get their confidence and sense of self back. I'm not sure whether that will ever happen. Additionally, although some teachers were fantastic, there were many others who were not, and those set a negative tone for the entire experience for us.Parent Review2y ago - John Muir Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageJohn Muir is a phenomenal school and has only been getting better in recent years. Excellent principal and leadership team that led the school to receive the National Blue Ribbon School Award in 2024. Very involved community and a beautiful school campus; enrichment opportunities for students abound. We're so grateful to be a part of this amazing school community.Parent Review1y ago
