Available for the first time in 28 years! Behind a welcoming front porch, soft southern light filters through mature trees into a home that feels timeless and serene. Privately situated within an intimate three-unit Craftsman brown shingle building, this tastefully updated Elmwood condo lives with the warmth and charm of a single-family home. Inside, 1,227 square feet* unfold with quiet elegance, where dappled morning light drifts through leafy branches, hardwood floors anchor the living spaces, and oversized windows frame verdant garden views. Fresh interior paint, carefully retained Craftsman details, and tasteful updates create a home that feels both authentic and effortlessly livable. The kitchen honors the home’s architectural roots, pairing solid wood cabinetry with brand-new stainless steel appliances and freshly installed Marmoleum flooring**—a timeless, sustainable material that feels perfectly at home in this Craftsman setting. The spacious ensuite primary bedroom enjoys wonderful natural light throughout the day, with an updated vanity and sink adding a fresh touch to the bath. French windows overlook a lush, private garden, while French doors from the study invite the outdoors in, opening to an enclosed patio surrounded by mature ferns and established plantings. A natural extension of the living space, the garden is equally suited for morning coffee, alfresco dinners, or simply unwinding beneath the trees. Just moments from the UC Berkeley campus, Elmwood’s beloved cafés, restaurants, neighborhood shops, the historic Rialto Theatre, and Whole Foods one block away, this home offers the rare luxury of feeling tucked away while remaining deeply connected to one of Berkeley’s most vibrant and cherished neighborhoods. *Per public record. **New items 2026.
