Property Description

A Little Storybook Magic in Lower Elmwood | Cute as a cupcake, this classic 1906 Storybook Victorian is bursting with personality, colorful charm, and a whole lot of heart. With its soft blue-green exterior, rosy pink front door, whimsical architectural details, and lush garden setting, 2314 Russell makes you smile before you even step inside. Beyond the front door, vintage character meets fresh, playful design. Sunlight pours through generous windows, original wood floors bring warmth, and thoughtful pops of color give every room personality. The living room is bright and inviting, while the adjoining dining room opens to an exquisitely renovated kitchen featuring warm wood cabinetry, beautiful stone countertops, custom tilework, and a generous entertaining peninsula. A delightful mix of old and new, with right amount of unexpected. With four bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, and 1,588 square feet, the floor plan offers flexibility for everyday living. Three bedrooms are conveniently located together upstairs, while a main-level fourth bedroom makes an ideal guest room or home office. Tucked into Berkeley's beloved Lower Elmwood neighborhood, just four blocks from the shops, cafés, restaurants, and boutiques along College Ave, this is Berkeley living at its best. Whole Foods is just two blocks away, with Berkeley Bowl, Burma Superstar's Berkeley outpost, and an abundance of local favorites close by. UC Berkeley and the vibrant Elmwood and Rockridge shopping districts are easily accessible, while nearby Ashby BART, bus lines, and convenient freeway connections make getting around and commuting refreshingly simple. Sweet, spirited, and wonderfully situated, 2314 Russell is a little slice of Berkeley magic. HES 2 (compliant).
