Property Description

Urban living at its finest! This enchanting single-level Craftsman enjoys an A+ location at the Rockridge / Elmwood border - just steps from the most beloved shops and restaurants along College Avenue. Behind its understated entry lies a storybook garden oasis, offering rare tranquility in the heart of the city. Inside, the main home showcases timeless architectural charm, from handcrafted built-ins to box-beamed ceilings. To the left, a vintage sitting room invites quiet reflection; to the right, a bright and contemporary dining room sets the stage for lively gatherings with family and friends. The classic prep kitchen - unchanged for over a century - connects seamlessly to a modern open-concept kitchen and family room. Beyond this central hub awaits a serene primary suite plus two additional bedrooms for restful nights. A spacious rear deck seamlessly extends the home’s living area, offering tranquil views of the private backyard framed by a magnificent, towering redwood. The detached ADU offers a full 1-bed / 1-bath suite with kitchen - perfect for an au pair or in-laws. A double parking pad at the front of the home provides exceptional convenience. Steps from BART, AC Transit, and top-rated Peralta Elementary. Berkeley 94705 postal / Oakland 94618 legal.
