Welcome to our elegant, newly renovated 2BR/3BA designer home by Gary Parsons, minutes from UC Berkeley in Oakland’s charming Rockridge neighborhood.
Set across two beautifully renovated levels, the home offers a refined balance of comfort, style, and livability for family visits, Berkeley stays, weekend trips, and longer East Bay visits. The living room features a luxury American Leather queen sofa bed, known for its exceptional comfort, with a nearby full bathroom for added flexibility and convenience.
The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, including a six-burner gas stove, and thoughtfully stocked for cooking, dining, and entertaining, with service for up to 10 guests. Just off the kitchen, the dining area opens to a small south-facing deck with a barbecue and fire pit, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for shared meals, morning coffee, or relaxing at the end of the day.
Abundant natural light fills both levels during the day, while sophisticated dimmable lighting creates a warm, inviting atmosphere in the evening. From the home, you can walk to excellent restaurants, cafés, specialty markets, bookstores, boutiques, fitness studios, and spas. One guaranteed driveway parking space is included, and nearby BART and transit make it easy to explore Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco.
Whether you’re visiting UC Berkeley, spending time with family, or looking for a stylish and comfortable home base in the East Bay, this home offers a calm, polished place to settle in and enjoy Rockridge.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
This delightful house is in one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Oakland. I lived in the neighborhood for 30 years, so I know. Every detail about the house was thought out, including the heated toilet. I rented this for family coming from Italy. My 87 yo cousin and his daughter. They loved it. The house is off College Ave, a main shopping/eating street in Oakland. Market Hall with all the food and wine shops is just blocks away. Trader Joe’s is just on the other side of the BART station. So many restaurants and coffee shops. This the best part of Oakland.

Once again, a wonderful stay at this home. The house is very comfortable, the location is fantastic, and the owners are very responsive. Would return again.

6 / 10Average·Oct 2024
The listing said parking available in the driveway. There was NO safe parking in the driveway. Street parking was restricted. We found that out after our arrival.
The house was modern and well equipped. The listing said there was a pool - no pool. The listing said there was an elevator- no elevator. The listing said there was a desk and a desk chair, it had neither.
