Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1962, the unit has undergone an extensive recent renovation within the last 5 years. It features a modern kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a contemporary subway tile backsplash. The interior boasts updated wide-plank flooring, modern light fixtures, and a fully renovated bathroom, meeting the criteria for a turnkey, move-in ready property with no deferred maintenance.
Situated in one of Berkeley’s most coveted neighborhoods, this property offers exceptional walkability to UC Berkeley, transit, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of Elmwood, ensuring strong long-term value.
The unit features a thoughtfully updated kitchen and bathroom, providing a modern and move-in-ready interior that appeals to both owner-occupants and investors seeking a low-maintenance asset.
The property includes highly desirable urban essentials such as deeded garage parking, additional storage, and an HOA that covers earthquake insurance and major utilities like heat and hot water.
At $1,032 per month, the association dues are significantly high for a one-bedroom unit, which may impact buyer affordability and overall return on investment.
The property relies on shared on-site laundry facilities rather than in-unit hookups, which is a common convenience drawback for modern buyers in this price point.
