Open floor plans, loads of light, master bedrooms, and big closets... If these don't sound like your typical Victorian home features, they're not!

The 3rd unit is a newly constructed free-standing 2+bedroom/2 bath home (not for sale). Together they make up a uniquely Berkeley-style condominium community.
