South Berkeley Mediterranean with loads of charm and original details. The split level allows the 2 bedrooms to be upstairs with lots of bonus space down. The bath has been recently remodeled with pleasing tile work. The back yard is small, but the...
fencing fully encloses the corner lot to create more privacy and is well landscaped. The garage has been reduced to accommodate the bonus rooms so will not fit a car.

R-2A
Restricted Multiple-Family Residential District
The purpose of the Restricted Multiple-Family Residential (R-2A) district is to: Implement the General Plan by encouraging the development of medium-density residential areas characterized by small multiple-family and garden-type apartment structures with a maximum of open space consistent with this type of development; Make available housing for persons who desire apartment-type accommodations with a maximum of open space; Protect adjacent properties from unreasonable obstruction of light and air; and permit only land use intensity which is compatible with existing low-density residential structures and is not detrimental to the immediate neighborhood.
