Own a Berkeley Gem

Updated Elmwood Hideaway with Bold Design and Historic Charm

Hidden gem alert: your own urban hideaway in the heart of Berkeley’s storied Elmwood neighborhood, just one block from the boutiques and cafés of College Avenue! Tucked within a charming, historic 1906 building and nestled in a wooded setting, this deceptively spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bath flat offers an office along with a recently updated bathroom and kitchen that opens to a combined dining and living area. 

A fusion of historic charm and well-executed modern updates brings character and freshness to every corner of the home. The kitchen has been refreshed with new subway tile backsplash, new countertops, freshly painted cabinets with new modern flat panel doors, new plumbing fixtures and newer stainless steel appliances. The living and dining rooms are anchored by an original brick fireplace and new engineered hardwood flooring. The bedroom includes convenient washer/dryer hookups, mirrored closet doors, and a cleverly designed vanity nook. The modernized “Space Odyssey”-themed bath is a true conversation piece, featuring black plumbing fixtures, slate tile throughout, ambient lighting, thoughtful space-saving storage and bold designer tile. Versatile and thoughtfully designed, the office space boasts exposed wood beam ceilings, custom built-in cabinets and drawers, and a slider that opens to a balcony overlooking a peaceful wooded area and the historic Julia Morgan Playhouse. New paint and abundant built-in cabinets and storage throughout as well as in unit laundry hookups offer ease of daily living.  Newer wiring,and other building upgrades along with a well established ownership group offer peace of mind to plug and play and enjoy the pleasant charm of history, yet with modern conveniences.  The building enjoys peaceful shared garden/patio spaces in both the front and backyard.

The location can’t be beat, with a Walk Score of 94 and a Bike Score of 91, Berkeley’s beloved Elmwood neighborhood and all its splendor is steps away.

Neighborhood

The much sought-after neighborhood of Elmwood has a rich architectural history. Early 20th-century houses, estates, and some of the more notable homes designed by prominent turn-of-the-century Bay Area architect Julia Morgan can be found in this neighborhood. The local shopping district centered on the intersection of College and Ashby avenues is a bustling hive of activity, featuring an array of gourmet eateries, boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants. Residents of Elmwood also enjoy an easy walk to public transportation, a library, and parks. For an only-in-Elmwood experience, visit Mrs. Dalloway's, a shop that combines a bookstore and garden supplies, or Rialto Cinemas Elmwood, a Berkeley city landmark that houses a three-screen cinema. In terms of hyperlocal culture, Julia Morgan Theatre offers camps and classes as well as performances of music, dance, and theater throughout the year.
