It's a beautiful day in Elmwood. The sun filters through the trees as the neighborhood comes to life-students and professors making their way to UC Berkeley, locals lingering over coffee, and the steady rhythm of a community that's both vibrant and grounded. At 2601 College Ave., that same energy carries through. Tucked within the well-loved Mark Twain Condominiums, Unit 108 offers a calm, courtyard-facing retreat from it all. Inside, this thoughtfully updated 1-bed condo is equal parts comfort and practicality - an easy, move-in ready space where daily life feels refreshingly uncomplicated. The layout is simple and efficient, with an updated kitchen and bath, generous closet space, and a peaceful connection to the building's interior garden. Just moments from campus, transit, and Elmwood's shops and restaurants, this is a home that works as well for owner-occupants as it does for those looking for a reliable investment with enduring demand. The HOA further simplifies ownership, covering heat, hot water, trash and earthquake insurance, along with on-site laundry, deeded garage parking, storage and elevator. In a neighborhood where lifestyle and location rarely miss, Unit 108 offers a grounded, well-connected place to call home-or a smart investment in one of Berkeley's most desirable markets.
