Description
Please do not disturb current tenants.
This Beautiful 1,850 4 bed - 1+ bath single family home is in highly sought after and quiet Elmwood, Berkeley. Built in 1906, this craftsman style home has been lovingly maintained with original floor plan, built-ins, wood work and architectural moments throughout. The Tenant will love the light, architecture, yard and neighborhood.
With southern exposure, you walk from the sycamore tree lined street, pass the front yard, up the entry steps, through the front door and into a foyer with classic craftsman wood work and cherry inlaid hardwood floors.
On the first floor is a spacious living room, formal dining room with built-ins and fireplace, an extra room (which could be used as an office), utility closet and a petite kitchen (Stove and refrigerator are recently new. No dishwasher).
From the kitchen, the back door leads to and elevated brand new porch and then to a lovely backyard that is perfect for remote working, bbqing, relaxation and gardening. Make amazing pasta, salads, and beverages with the meyer lemons. The fire pit will keep you warm for those wonderful fall evenings. Basic yard maintenance is included in rent.
On the second floor are the 4 bedrooms and bathroom. All closets are modest in size. The master bedroom does not have a closet (armoire is available). One bedroom has an adjoining bonus sun drenched room surrounded by windows overlooking the backyard and a view of the Campanile. Perfect for an office.
Accessible from the backyard, basement provides ample storage, washer/dryer and extra toilet.
Dedicated single outdoor parking space accessible via a shared driveway with house next door. Ample street parking is available.

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 Review7mo 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 Review1y 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
