Looking for the perfect spot to live your best green life? Check out 1834 Francisco!
You can skip the car; this dreamy central location in the heart of Berkeley is close to UC, between 2 BART stations, and near parks (Totland, Ohlone (which has a great dog park too!), etc.), a multitude of great shops and restaurants, 2 farmer’s markets, schools, the downtown Arts District, and so much more. It’s rated 95 - Walker’s Paradise, and 97 - Biker’s Paradise, on WalkScore.com.
The charming home is updated and wonderfully livable now, but it’s also a fantastic starting point to expand in the future. Live all-electric at minimal cost, with electric heat, a heat-pump water heater, and an induction range, powered by a massive, fully-owned solar array that rests on the newer roof. You’ll love the high ceilings, dual-pane windows, and hardwood floors.
Use the large level back yard to create your dream urban garden, or take advantage of the newer sewer lateral with ready connection and the updated 200-amp electrical service to add an ADU or office/studio.
Looking for even more space, now or in the future? Raise the house! There is a subarea with approximately 6’ clearance that provides huge amounts of storage now, but lift a few feet and develop the space and you could double the size of the home.
Live clean, and incredibly well, in this wonderfully-located, eco-friendly charmer, with great expansion potential.

Home to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, Berkeley offers the intellectual and cultural stimulation from its campus -- which is within walking distance of downtown. Many Berkeley neighborhoods were established in the 1920s, with quiet, tree-lined streets, brown-shingled homes, and lushly landscaped yards. In Thousand Oaks, the original developers preserved ancient oak trees and left rock outcroppings intact. Elmwood, with its thriving business district, remains one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. In Claremont, the Claremont Hotel, a gleaming white Victorian-era landmark, has provided generations of Bay Area residents with a luxurious getaway.
Berkeley has long been at the forefront of culinary innovation. Locals flock to the original Peet’s Coffee & Tea location. For residents who like to savor their meals at home, small retail districts sprinkled throughout Berkeley allow them to shop like Europeans, going from store to store to purchase everything they need. Those in a hurry can always visit major grocery stores nearby.
Neighborhood green spaces abound throughout Berkeley, from small community gardens to the Berkeley Rose Garden -- which boasts more than 3,000 rose bushes. The gem of the area is 2,000-acre Tilden Regional Park, with its miles of biking and hiking trails and the naturally landscaped swimming hole at Lake Anza.
