2914 Harper St

Enjoy a bright and efficient 500 sq. feet of comfortable studio living in the heart of South Berkeley. This charming unit is part of a duplex and offers everything you need in a compact footprint, including included utilities and access to outdoor space. The studio comes with water and garbage included, helping keep your monthly expenses simple. A shared laundry room on-site makes day-to-day life more convenient, and the shared yard gives you space to enjoy fresh air or a quiet morning coffee. Best of all, this apartment is cat-friendly, so your feline friend can feel right at home. The location puts you just three easy blocks from the Ashby BART station, which connects you to UC Berkeley, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. Despite the convenience, Harper Street is a quiet residential block with a strong sense of community. At the end of the street, you'll find Grove Park, a neighborhood hub with a baseball diamond, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, children's playgrounds, and a wide field where dogs and neighbors gather. Across from the park is the Berkeley Public Library as well as Wat Mongkolratanaram, a local Thai temple that serves renowned Sunday lunches. Just three blocks away is Berkeley Bowl, one of the Bay Area's most beloved grocery stores, known for its wide selection of fresh California produce, bulk items, hot prepared foods, fresh seafood, and wine. Within a short walk are also standout local restaurants: Sconehenge (with legendary scones), Kirala (a top-rated Japanese spot), Taqueria La F amilia, and Emilia's Pizzeria, a Berkeley institution. Theater lovers can also catch a show at Shotgun Players, located nearby. When you're in the mood to explore farther afield, downtown Berkeley is a short trip away, with restaurants, bookstores, cinemas, and live theater at Berkeley Rep. Cyclists will appreciate that Harper connects to Russell Street, part of Berkeley's extensive bicycle boulevard network. Included utilities are water and trash removal. Tenant responsible for PG&E.
