Spacious & charming 1 bed/1 bath condo in 1920s 4-plex in Elmwood w/ storage/garage & shared laundry

This is a very well maintained, charming and spacious 1920s one bedroom and one bathroom apartment in a four-plex located on a very quite and safe street in the Elmwood, which is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Berkeley and in walking... distance to shops, cafes, BART, bus, and campus. From the photos you will see that there are hardwood floors, built-in book and dining room shelves, a beautiful kitchen and bathroom that were both recently re-done, and there is a formal dining room to host dinners. The kitchen has a small breakfast nook, gas stove/oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and refrigerator that is sunken in the wall (and thus not photographed). There is lots of storage, including a garage. There is a shared (non-coin/free) laundry facility in the basement and shared decks and outside space. Utilities and TV/Internet cable service is not included in rent, however the HOA $300/monthly fee is already included in rent. As a renter in this four-plex, you must abide by the HOA rules and bylaws or you will be subject to being evicted.

We are a UC Berkeley family that lives just around the corner and we are renting our recently purchased and furnished apartment until our aging parents are ready to downsize themselves into the apartment, thus we are only considering short-term rental leases for set periods of time. We prefer to host visiting UC Berkeley graduate students, postdocs, or faculty members, but are open to others such as visiting medics. Read More
