About This Home
As of April 2025Nestled on one of Berkeley’s most coveted tree-lined blocks, this classic bungalow sits conveniently between the Gourmet District, Monterey Market, and the shops of Solano Avenue. Inside, hardwood floors, a generous living room with a fireplace, and a separate formal dining room showcase the home’s original charm. The recently remodeled kitchen has new counters, floors, and appliances added in 2024-2025. Stylish and generously sized, it offers the ideal counter and cabinet space for cooking and entertaining. With two bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths, there’s room to adapt the layout to your needs. A large basement doubles as a workshop and laundry area, providing additional storage and creative possibilities.* Outside, the deep, freshly landscaped lot suggests space for expansion or a personal garden retreat.** A long driveway provides ample parking and access. At the rear of the property is a large walk-in shed. Recent updates include a new roof (2022), a central furnace (2021), and an upgraded electrical panel (2023). This location places you within easy reach of local markets, cafés, parks, gyms, the North Berkeley Library, and a vibrant community. First time on the market in over sixty years, this is a rare opportunity to start your next chapter at 1234 Josephine.
