Beautifully restored turn-of-the-century Berkeley Brown Shingle home with 9+ foot coved ceilings, spacious rooms, hardwood floors, and a newly remodeled kitchen. This is the front half of a two-unit property, with its own entrance and independent private living space. The home is unusually spacious - approximately 2,000 square feet - with two very large upstairs bedrooms (each around 200-250 square feet) and expansive living and dining areas on the main floor. Includes in-unit washer/dryer with off-street parking for one vehicle, and a NEMA 14-50 outlet supporting Level 2 EV charging. Each room has its own energy-efficient mini-split heating and air conditioning system, and the home is already wired for Sonic fiber internet. Located in the Elmwood neighborhood at the foot of Panoramic Hill, in one of Berkeley's oldest residential neighborhoods - a short walk to UC Berkeley for campus events, the gym, and four outdoor swimming pools, and just minutes from hiking and running trails in Strawberry and Derby Canyons. Also close to local shops, cafes, public transit, and bike lanes, and an easy 1.2-mile walk to Rockridge or Downtown Berkeley. The street has very low car traffic, thanks to traffic deflectors that block through access - great for walking and biking.
