The Perfect offering on College Ave! Gorgeous stroll to UC Berkeley. Walking on College Avenue never gets old!
An oldie but goodie! Large 2 bedroom 1 bath in a 39U building owned by a long time Owner with long time onsite manager presence. We just took over this building and look forward to making some cool improvements along the way.
Unit features tons of natural light and good sized bedrooms. Partially renovated with some new updates --large enough to fit a group if needed. Newer LTV hardwood like flooring, new paint, upgraded bathroom --this is the perfect location in and out to go anywhere. Building is secure entrance with onsite laundry and some common area space.
0.2 miles (a few blocks away) to Derby Food Center, which offers a ton of healthy food options and delicious snacks close to home. 2540 College Avenue is a 10 minute or less walk to UC Berkeley campus (close to Haas), and an 8 minute bus ride to campus to Bancroft on the AC Transit 51B bus stop.
