    What's special

    Where does California Chill Meet Berkeley Bliss? Right here on California Street! This charming South Berkeley Craftsman welcomes you with 4 bedrooms, classic built-in wood cabinetry, clawfoot bathtub, a spacious kitchen, and your own personal spa set up, including a private deck, hot tub, and sauna. Stay for the peace of mind that comes with a recently replaced roof, seismic retrofit, lots of electrical updates, updated copper plumbing, and owned solar panels. The sauna currently occupies the detached garage—easily relocatable if you prefer parking space. Location-wise, you’re just 2 blocks from the award-winning Malcolm X Elementary*, with Berkeley Bowl, BART, freeways, UC campus, and downtown shops all within easy reach. (Buyer to verify school district/availability.) You don’t get more East Bay accessibility than a 96 bike score and 89 walk score from walkscore.com®. So Don’t Leave Your Stress at Home. Come Home to Relieve Your Stress!
