About This Home

As of November 2025

With an ideal North Berkeley, 1200 Cornell is a stone throw from the Westbrae Nursery, Berkeley Bagels, Headlands Brewery, Adego Azul wine bar, and three.one four Pizzeria! Through the private front gate you are greeted by a lush garden teeming with fruit trees, veggie beds, native flowers, and a patio with trellis. Nestled in the garden is this sun-kissed bungalow with original craftsman porch beckoning you to sit and rest a while. Inside is a charming and remodeled one bedroom home. The open floor plan features a spacious eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a sunny breakfast nook. Separate, but seamlessly connected, is the large living room looking out to the garden. Rounding out the main house is the private one-bedroom and cheery remodeled bathroom. Just a few steps away is the detached garage with laundry. With insulated and finished walls, this space makes an ideal home office or potential ADU. Below the home is a large storage room providing space for everything. In 23’, plans were drawn up and permits approved for a larger home. Those plans are available to the buyer if they want to bring the plans to life. Sewer compliant, BESO compliant, $600 pest inspection, newer roof, and so much more!
