Property Description
Welcome home to one of Berkeley's most coveted pockets. Tucked along Alcatraz Avenue just steps from the College Avenue corridor, this generously sized single-family residence offers approximately 2,511 square feet of light-filled living space, with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a rare and roomy footprint in a neighborhood where space like this seldom comes available. The lower level showcases beautifully refinished oak floors with redwood inlay, while a grand staircase leads to a second level finished with newly installed luxury engineered wood floors. The home has been freshly painted throughout, and new light fixtures bring a modern glow to the living areas and bedrooms. A flexible floor plan gives everyone room to breathe, and the kitchen presents an exciting opportunity to open up the space between it and the adjacent dining room. Imagine the bright, flowing great-room layout today's buyers crave. The upstairs features two separate entrances, ideally set up for a junior ADU, and the property has separate electrical and gas meters, offering excellent flexibility for multigenerational living, a home office, or potential rental income. Step outside to enjoy both front and back yards. The welcoming front yard offers classic curb appeal and an inviting spot to savor your morning coffee, while the private backyard is perfect for gardening, gatherings, or quiet evenings under the stars. Location is everything here. You're moments from the boutiques, cafés, and restaurants of the Elmwood and Rockridge districts, with the Rockridge BART station, AC Transit lines, and easy freeway access putting all of the Bay Area within reach. Top-rated schools, weekend farmers markets, and nearby parks round out the quintessential Berkeley lifestyle. This is the kind of home that anchors a family for years to come, refresh the finishes to suit your taste, or move right in and enjoy a location that speaks for itself. Homes of this size in this high-demand corner are tightly held and rarely last long. BESO evaluation in process.
