Living in the Shire gives you a rare combination -- rolling green hills, in an urban setting. Set well back from Alcatraz Avenue on the border of Oakland and Berkeley, this 16-unit condominium community has a perfect-10 location. You're near Elmwood, Temescal, Rockridge, and the Cal campus. As it's within the catchment for Peralta Elementary, you can enjoy the morning stream of families flowing by the front gate, headed to school. Light, bright, and inviting, this home has 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, level-in entry, and a large deeded outdoor patio. A private laundry is in a separate closet. The updated-in-2021 kitchen has stainless-steel appliances, including a Haier refrigerator. Grab your dinner ingredients at Berkeley Bowl (under a mile away) -- they even have sushi-quality seafood to make your own sashimi. Want to visit all the fabulous local restaurants instead? The parking space for this home is directly behind it, though you may not use it often with a Walk Score(r) of 89 and Bike Score(r) at 99. Two BART stations are blocks away. Enjoy your new life at the Shire.
