Description
Comfortable and spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath furnished home in fantastic Elmwood location, available July 1st, 2026 for a 1 year lease.
This is a classic 3-level craftsman with large rooms and big windows, full of vintage touches and modern conveniences. The front door opens into a central foyer with the staircase to the upper level, and a powder room tucked in underneath. On the left is a large living room with a decorative fireplace, flanked by original built-ins. To the right is the formal dining room with another wall of lovely original built-in cabinetry. The large, updated kitchen is off the dining room, with great cabinet and counter space and high end stainless steel appliances. At the rear of the kitchen is a stacked HE washer/dryer, a breakfast nook, and a cozy den/TV room. French doors off the kitchen lead to a back deck set up for outdoor dining.
Stairs off the kitchen lead down to the lower level, which functions as a self-contained private suite with access to the backyard. There is a large common area and a private bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. It's an ideal setup for visiting in-laws, a live-in nanny, a dedicated workspace or gym, or a noisy playroom. The lower level has a large deck with patio furniture that leads out to a large, grassy backyard, with plenty of room to play.
The upper level of the house has 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom with shower over tub. The front bedroom is the largest, and is currently set up as a shared children's bedroom with two twin beds and lots of sunshine. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed and desk, with french doors that open out to a nice upstairs deck. The third bedroom has a king size bed, with an attached home office/sun room that also opens out to the upstairs deck.
The house has forced heat and air conditioning (!!) via a newly installed electric heat pump. There's an EV charger in the driveway and a detached garage for extra bike and gear storage.
The owner is highly allergic so unfortunately - no animals can be considered.
Unbeatable location, just 2 blocks off College Ave. and all its great shops and restaurants. 4 blocks from both John Muir and Emerson elementary schools. 2 blocks to tennis and massages at the Claremont Hotel, and directly in between two of Berkeley's most exciting and popular bakeries: Fournee and Nabalom. This is the famed Russell Street Halloween Block (decorations included in rental) so plan on lots of visitors on October 31.

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
