Excellent School Access: Located within close proximity (0.81 miles) to Berkeley High School, which holds a strong rating of 8, making it attractive for families.

Cons

Compact Living Space: With only 735 sqft, the interior living area is quite compact for a 2-bedroom unit, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking more spacious accommodations or growing families.
Single Bathroom: The property features only one bathroom for two bedrooms, which can be a functional inconvenience for multiple occupants or guests.
Condominium Ownership Structure: Despite being described as a 'bungalow,' the property is listed as a condominium, implying potential HOA fees, shared responsibilities, and rules that are not detailed and may not align with expectations for a traditional detached home.
