An incredible opportunity to own in Berkeley’s coveted Elmwood district, just steps from College Avenue and the world-class dining, shopping, and cultural amenities of the Elmwood and Claremont neighborhoods. This charming 1255 SQFT split-level home offers classic architectural details and a 2BD/1.5BA layout that invites creativity. The foyer opens to a light-filled dining room just off the kitchen. Up a half-flight of stairs, you’ll find two bedrooms and a full bath, while the spacious living room, rich with period character, provides a welcoming centerpiece for gatherings. The kitchen and bath await your inspired remodel, and the attached one-car garage sits at the end of a long driveway for ample parking. A large yard offers room for play, gardening, or potential development. The basement provides valuable storage or expansion potential, and an extra half bathroom. With both sewer lateral and BESO compliance already in place, you can dedicate your investment to the exciting transformations ahead. This is your chance to create something truly special in one of Berkeley’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
