Spacious studio on Hearst and Spruce, in 8 unit building across from Barker Hall Apartments

Newly upgraded, spacious, private studio apartment w/ classic hardwood floors, natural light from large east-facing windows, in our convenient coveted location on the corner of Hearst and Spruce, directly across the street from Cal's Barker Hall. We... have freshly painted and professionally cleaned the entire unit, following the upgrades which include new kitchen and bathroom hardware, a new refrigerator, new range hood, new toilet, and a new "fandelier" in the main room. This unit is on the first floor facing east, over the garages on the Spruce Street side of the building.

This unit's separate kitchen has two entries and plentiful storage space (solid wood cabinets both over and under granite countertops, spice cabinets, and a pantry/broom closet). Appliances include a gas range/oven, vented range hood, refrigerator, and a small microwave, along with generous countertops, stainless steel sink and new miniblinds at the kitchen window.

Ample in-unit storage space includes two hall closets (a linen closet with shelves, the other for hanging clothes), plus large walk-in closet off of the main room with shelving, closet rod for hanging clothes and hooks, and a built-in dresser with mirror.

All our units have an intercom, doorbell and front door buzzer to allow screening of visitors to the building's enclosed interior common hallway and stairway areas, with skylights. There is a shared, on-site, in-building laundry room with coin operated washer and dryer and a utility sink and shelving. We also have indoor bike racks at the street level, accessible from a locked side entrance.

A private garage may be available for rent for our building's tenants at an additional de minimis fee under a separate month-to-month rental agreement. Our 8 unit building is steps away from Bear Transit stops and all points on the UC Berkeley campus, walking distance to BART, AC Transit, Gourmet Ghetto restaurants, and popular local merchants. We take pride in our maintenance by a local team, and our third generation ownership; as a result, many of our tenants are long term and are a collegial group, respectful of each other's privacy.
