REAL ESTATE • On the Market
Berkeley, that combination of college town and San Francisco suburb, has long left its reputation as a hippie haven in the rearview mirror — but that mirror might be attached to one of VW’s ID. Buzz buses. Bidding wars are common when one of the city’s iconic Craftsman homes enters the market, but residences with less familiar silhouettes also move quickly. The median single-family sales price for the last year is $1.5M, Compass reports, with condos moving at a median of $730K. Here, three fresh listings to consider in the shadow of Cal:

→ 1 Brookside Ave (Berkeley) • 3BR/3.1BA • 2510 SF house • Ask: $2.35M • 1912 build with original flourishes, big garden • Days on market: 5 • Agent: Nahid Nassiri, Sotheby’s.
→ 1484 Grizzly Peak Blvd (Berkeley) • 6BR/4.1BA, 4387 SF house • Ask: $3.695M • Bay, Mt. Tam, and SF views from updated 1988 build • Days on market: 13 • Agent: Anian Tunney, GRUBB.
