There are three rental properties at this location; if this is not available, another may be, so please inquire.

Walk or bike to the UCB campus from this 1908 historic Elmwood House - a prominent landmark in Berkeley's sought-after Elmwood district. This is one of Berkeley's grand old dames: an original turn-of-the-century period residence with oodles of character, wonderful architectural detail, high coved ceilings, original built-ins, hardwood floors, pocket-doors, many windows and much light. Located in one of Berkeley's most loved neighborhoods where families and friends gather on front porches and lawns throughout summer, tree-lined streets are teeming with kids on bikes, and history and Brown Shingled homes abound. The Elmwood is one of Berkeley's most prized neighborhoods. See links below for more than 100 additional photos of property and surrounds. This property is fully equipped for families with young children - please inquire regarding list of supplies if you will visit with young children. The list is long list which includes - but is not limited to - high chair, booster seats, infant tubs, stroller, cribs, toddler air beds, bedding, toys, books, and much more.

Located in a quiet old residential Cul-de-sac in a friendly neighborhood, yet only a five-minute walk from bustling College Avenue, this charming home is luxuriously appointed and ideally located within walking distance of Telegraph and College Avenues, where you will find fine dining, ethnic restaurants, bookstores, theater, Berkeley's university campus, and more. Walk to Telegraph Avenue for Whole Foods, parks, or stroll along College Avenue, from the town of Rockridge at one end, and the California College of Art, to the University of California of Berkeley (CAL/UCB) at the other end.

Elmwood is Berkeley at its best where sidewalks are abuzz with life and things to do. The entire stretch of College Avenue is lined with restaurants and places to shop. The local theater is just two blocks away and right in the hub of it all. San Francisco is only 8 miles away and easily accessible by BART which is only 10 blocks away in Rockridge!

The property is comprised of three bedrooms and one bathroom, with the front door entrance located at street level, as shown in photo above. There are two queen beds in two bedrooms; the other has sofa and armchair in it and can have a sofa sleeper or other bed if needed. The house is replete with period details such as pocket doors, abundant period wainscoting, original built-in hutch, bookshelves, high ceilings, and many windows. A gracious period home, full of light and charm and ideally located on a sleepy quiet no-through-way street, yet only minutes to the hub of Rockridge and Elmwood shopping. Elmwood Theater, fitness clubs, pools, children's parks, the Berkeley Tennis Club, the Claremont Resort and Spa are all within walking distance. (This location boasts a 97 Walkscore.)

About I am a writer, real estate broker, designer - and owner of a a few Berkeley properties that are close to the UC Berkeley campus. Originally from Europe, (England and Ireland) I have lived in California for twenty years, and am quite familiar with all that is entailed in moving, relocating, finding a home, the right schools, neighborhoods and more. I can help with short or long term rentals, and also with neighborhood and school information, and finding a house to buy if you need a realtor/broker. I have twenty years of local experience and kids in local schools. I have also lived in several bay area cities in the east, west and north bay of San Francisco.
