Property Description
Timeless Berkeley Brown Shingle residence offering five rooms currently used as bedrooms and five bathrooms across approximately 3,553 sq. ft., blending historic character with modern living. The flexible floor plan includes a spacious third-floor room with two closets and a private balcony, plus a second-floor room that offers space for an office, bedroom, media room, or gym. Ideally located in LeConte/Lower Elmwood, just south of UC Berkeley, this beautifully updated home sits on a 6,750 sq. ft. lot. Renovated with permits in 2022, it features fresh interior and exterior paint, spacious living and dining rooms, a chefs kitchen, and an expansive rear deck. The private primary suite opens to its own balcony overlooking the backyard. A detached two-car garage may offer future ADU conversion potential, subject to buyer verification and City approval. Close to UC Berkeley, Elmwood, Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley Bowl, BART, restaurants, cafés, parks, and cultural attractions. Home Energy Score: 3. City-approved plans designate two of the five rooms as studies. The seller has applied to change their designation to bedrooms; City review is pending.
