As of October 2025Tucked in the heart of North Berkeley, this charming brown-shingle home blends vintage character with modern style. Soaring wood-clad ceilings, skylights, and an open floor plan create a light-filled space full of warmth and charm.

Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, off-street parking, and an EV charger.
