2638 Warring Street, Unit ABerkeley
Rare opportunity to enjoy living in circa 1905 charming Berkeley brown shingle condo with fenced, magical park-like, backyard retreat! 100% owner-occupied 4-plex, ideally located in the heart of Elmwood-one of Berkeley's most desirable neighborhoods. This light-filled well-loved 1BD/1BA home features refinished hardwood floors with intricate inlay details, exposed beam ceilings in the living room, and a fireplace with built-in bookcases that add warmth. The kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with crisp white quartz countertops, a stainless steel sink, and Terracotta tile flooring. The breakfast counter allows for casual dining and expanded counter space. A spacious primary bedroom is tucked away at the rear of the home for ultimate peace and privacy, complete with a built-in desk and custom cabinetry. Just outside the bedroom, you'll find a full bathroom with a bathtub and tile flooring, along with a generous hallway closet.
Step outside to a magical, park-like shared fenced yard with lush landscaping and a common area studio with deck —a serene retreat perfect for relaxing or gathering with friends while enjoying the outdoors. The 120+year building is barely showing its age: engineered seismic & foundation work completed, newer roof with solar added. The off-street parking allows for at-home Solar powered EV charging. Additional ease of living features include large deeded extra storage, on-site laundry, and HOA dues that include ALL utilities (except WiFi), exterior maintenance, and hazard insurance. Just moments to UC Berkeley, College Avenue's shops and cafés, Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve (hiking with a Bay view!), and the iconic Claremont Hotel. The Clark Kerr running track is also very close. Enjoy easy access to public transportation and major freeways for a smooth commute or travel (Bus to Rockridge BART for direct line to SFO). Added Bonus: This property lies within the Residential Parking Permit Area "D" (see City of Berkeley RPP map and qualifications) with street parking privileges to College & Dwight Way!

Coveted Neighborhood - You'll Love This Location
Live in "The Elmwood/Claremont"
Located in one of Berkeley’s most coveted neighborhoods! So conveniently located between the Elmwood and Claremont commercial districts! It is truly an unbeatable location: across the street from the Clark Kerr Campus with a running track, sports courts and access to the Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve with extensive world-class views from hiking trails. Less than one mile from the property, you'll find: Claremont Ave stores (stroll to The Station - Claremont Avenue's newest favorite smash burger joint), Elmwood shops followed by Rockridge amenities just a few blocks further. You will find that "the Elmwood" has a post office, branch of the Berkeley Library and an independent movie theater amongst the many excellent restaurants and cafes. 2638 Warring Street is also close enough to stroll to the gorgeous, world renown campus at UCB - offering an academic and cultural plethora of activities. The Claremont Club & Spa, Berkeley Tennis Club, and well-curated Star Grocery are all nearby. Any morning, choose any direction to stroll and you'll find an excellent cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee. Of course, you can choose to stay home and start your day amongst the trees in the lovely backyard.
2836 Warring Street is an easy commute location: on the AC Transit 36 Line to CAL & Rockridge BART (a no-transfer line to SFO!), and an AC Trans Bay stop is at Domingo & Tunnel. Casual Carpool & easy highway access, too. Hiking Trails, sports tracks/facilities are all extremely close by (behind the Clark Kerr Campus).
Make this your home and you will conveniently enjoy all of the best that the East Bay has to offer at your doorstep!
