    What's special

    Top Floor Condo in 1927 Elmwood Showcase Building. Exceptionally well located in the heart of it all...just a half block to shops and restaurants in one of the oldest commercial districts of Berkeley. Lovely old details combined with fresh modern updates create an eclectic aesthetic for a relaxing and cozy environment. A bonus nook expands this unit's living room space with a vaulted ceiling and skylight that is grounded with original matchstick hardwood floors. Updated Gas Fireplace. Original glass door knobs, wood-pane windows, and a cute phone cubby call back time. A massive shared deck is right outside the back kitchen door...to facilitate BBQ, or a daily dose of vitamin D. Other conveniences include: Large Enclosed Walk-In Basement Storage & a Carport Parking Space (should you ever want to leave.) Near buses, BART, U.C., and hiking. By appointment only.
