About 2119 Essex St

Edwardian oasis in South Berkeley. This property was home, for over 50 years, to a family who embraced the values of the Berkeley of old. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has old-world sophisticated charm with beautiful wood floors, traditional high ceilings, light and airy space, and so much original charm still intact. A well-appointed kitchen, with a charming butler pantry, and a view of the yard. The bedrooms are spacious. There is a bedroom and bath on the main living floor and 3 bedrooms and a bath on the upper level. The large secluded garden boasts mature fruit trees such as Meyer lemon, fig, and persimmon. This garden is also ready for your country life ideas: Perhaps chickens and vegetable beds? Especially desired is access to local fare and restaurants, all just a short distance to Rockridge, downtown Berkeley, Ashby BART, or the heart of Elmwood.
