Open House 2: Fri 5/22/2026, from 4 to 5 pm
This rental includes the front half of a newly renovated Victorian home from 1894. It has large windows and tall ceilings, and it's nestled among towering redwoods and an ancient Olive tree. It features two large and charming bedrooms and one bathroom on two levels. Plus, it comes with a beautiful front porch and its own large and private (fenced) yard, providing plenty of outdoor space for BBQing and spending time with friends. It's an oasis of garden and green, hidden in the midst of Southside, just 5 blocks from campus and close to stores and public transportation.
The unit for rent is the front apartment in the house, with its own entrance and fenced yard. It has been fully renovated and freshly painted, blending historic charm with modern comfort. The main level includes the living room and one large bedroom, featuring an original marble fireplace and a good-sized closet. The second floor has the second bedroom, the bathroom, and a bright kitchenette, which boasts a full-size premium range, sink, and a stylish Smeg-like refrigerator, perfect for those who appreciate design and function.
The location is great, off busy Telegraph on a tree-lined residential street, only five blocks from campus. The apartment comes with one dedicated parking spot (as shown in the photo) as well as a sticker for street parking. Previous tenants have loved living here, enjoying a blend of convenience, natural beauty, historic character, and safety.
Photos show the front gate and fence of the house (lots of privacy!), the front yard and porch, the living room, downstairs bedroom (which has been used as pottery studio), views outside the BR and LR, the stairs to the 2nd floor, upstairs BR, bathroom, and kitchenette. The photo of the driveway shows the dedicated parking spot that comes with this unit and the side gate.
The current tenants will move out in the next weeks; they had lived here for 2+ years and are now moving in with their partner. Before that, three Berkeley students shared the space. It's available for move-in by May 24.
