Open Saturday & Sunday 2-4pm ** 2817 Stanton Street | Berkeley, CA ** Open Saturday & Sunday 2-4pm
A Berkeley bungalow with spirit, style, and unexpected possibilities. Located in the beloved San Pablo Park neighborhood, 2817 Stanton Street blends design-forward Mediterranean character with the warmth of classic Berkeley living.
Inside, charming original details meet thoughtful designer updates. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, while the living room fireplace features a beautifully detailed original tile surround that anchors the space with timeless character. Double-pane windows provide comfort and energy efficiency, and the updated kitchen offers both style and function with a movable island, new 5-burner stove and Bosch dishwasher. New quartz countertops and stainless steel sink, too.
The home’s layout creates excellent separation of space, allowing for both connection and privacy. The primary suite overlooks the lush backyard garden, creating a peaceful retreat filled with natural light and greenery. An additional bedroom and full bath with tub offer flexibility for guests, family, or work-from-home living.
Outdoors, the property opens into a series of magical gathering spaces designed for entertaining, relaxing, creating, and restoring. An open-air entertainment/work center is ready to be put to good use, making laundry easy and full enjoyment of the yard a pleasure. A permitted detached studio with concrete floors — previously used as a healing arts space — offers incredible versatility as an office, creative studio, wellness retreat or gym. Hummingbirds have nested in the garden, persimmons ripen annually in the front yard, and mature drought-resistant landscaping creates beauty with ease. Many of the plants were purchased from the super neighbor on the east side of the property: Spiral Gardens; a non-profit nursery specializing in edible and medicinal plants, herbs and seedlings. A covered storage area is tucked away on the north side of the house.
Just a short three block stroll from one of Berkeley’s favorite neighborhood parks, this location offers the best of East Bay living. Berkeley Bowl shopping, neighborhood cafes, transportation, and Berkeley’s renowned Bicycle Boulevards are all nearby, with convenient commute options to University of California, Berkeley, San Francisco, and beyond via Bay Area Rapid Transit and AC Transit. See below for more details on this coveted location.

San Pablo Park NeighborhoodSouthwest Berkeley2817 Stanton Street - Fabulous Location
Southwest Berkeley is located less than two miles from Downtown Berkeley and is one of the area’s most popular residential neighborhoods. It's convenient to CAL Campus to the Northeast, the Claremont Canyon hiking trails and the Claremont Resort & Spa due East. Travel on Sacramento Street north to reach North Berkeley BART station and East (about .6 of a mile) to the Ashby BART station. Southwest Berkley also includes convenient access to Northwest Berkeley’s Fourth Street, Berkeley Marina, and a variety of local shops and restaurants. 2817 Stanton Street shares a back property line with the Spiral Gardens - Community Food Security Project. It's a nonprofit urban garden center with retail nursery & community farm, offering free gardening classes! The nursery specializes in edible plants, herbs, and plants for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. They also have a small selection of houseplants and succulents. Volunteers are welcome to drop in to help in the nursery or grow food on the community farm...very special neighbors!
The City of Berkeley offers beautiful public parks, each of which has its own amenities and features. Southwest Berkeley residents love to visit the historic San Pablo Park, which is located in between Russell and Ward Streets, only three blocks from 2817 Stanton Street. The City of Berkeley's first public park is ideal for walks with the dog, or gathering with friends for your favorite outdoor activities. San Pablo Park’s amenities include two different playgrounds for toddlers and school-aged children, basketball courts, lighted tennis courts, two soccer fields, and a spacious multi-use field perfect for flag football or Ultimate Frisbee. Visit San Pablo Park any weekend and your heart will sing. It truly is a well-loved park.
Where can I shop or eat? From 2817 Stanton Street, walk or ride a bike along Russell to the infamous Berkeley Bowl, it's only 7 blocks away! And the newer Berkeley Bowl West is about the same distance headed west! Considered one of the finest grocery stores, explore the massive produce section - you'll undoubtedly find items you didn't know existed (or that you needed!!) and at reasonable prices. Enjoy Sunday brunch at one of Berkeley's most unique experiences: Wat Mongkolrataram Buddhism Temple, serving authentic Thai food through donation based tokens (only six blocks - on Russell close to Martin Luther King Way). The Temple is next to the Berkeley Public Library - Tarea Hall Pittman South Branch where you will find the tool lending library as well. There are also a plethora of popular Southwest Berkeley restaurants on or near San Pablo Avenue. But one of the neighborhood favorites is Tacos Sinaloa - if you know, you know. It's a taco truck that is parked most days at the entrance to the community garden (more on this later), on Sacramento - directly behind 2817 Stanton Street. If you are in the neighborhood, stop and try one of their many authentic Mexican offerings made fresh to order.
So many commute options!! Oakland, UC Berkeley, and Albany, CA are all within a 15-minute bus ride from Southwest Berkeley. AC Transit Rout 88 is the first bus that stops at Sacramento & Ashby at 5:07 am for those early risers. It runs along University Avenue to Shattuck. One of the stops is Downtown Berkeley's BART Station (which can take you to the Financial District or Google headquarters in approximately half an hour), in the other direction it will take you to downtown Oakland. The AC Transit Transbay "J" line picks up and drops off at Sacramento & Oregon (a block away) and the end/beginning of the line is the Salesforce Transit Center - Bay 19 in San Francisco. AC Transit Route 72 runs north and south on San Pablo Avenue, and with buses running every 10 minutes during the day, it’s always convenient to walk over and catch a ride.
Would you rather ride your bike for errands, to school or work? 2817 Stanton Street is only half a block to Russell Street - one of Berkeley's seven bicycle boulevards. These are streets that have been identified as optimal routes for cyclists. They have been designed to discourage cut-through vehicle traffic and prioritize through-traffic by bicycle. Check out the routes at https://berkeleyca.gov/city-services/getting-around/walking-biking-and-rolling/bike-boulevards. And keep you eyes open for a new Ferry service from Berkeley to San Francisco that has been approved by the Berkeley Planning Commission in early 2026. Granted, it will take a few years to rebuild the Berkeley Pier (at the end of University Avenue), but if all goes according to officials' plans, commuters and day-trippers could be whisked to San Francisco's Ferry Building on all-electric boats in 25 minutes.
Anything else you could possibly want or need in a neighborhood? With parks, community gardens, restaurants, great weather, best grocery stores and easy commute options - 2817 Stanton Street is a fabulous location for all generations.
