About This Home
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. The freshly updated kitchen features quartz counters, sleek cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a skylight that brightens the space. A versatile loft adds flexible living for a studio, office, or creative retreat. Step outside to a private, low-maintenance courtyard with space to lounge by a fire pit, garden, or entertain, plus a back deck that extends the indoor-outdoor flow. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, off-street parking, and an EV charger. This one-bedroom, one-bath home is owned as a TIC and live like a single family home; a smart and stylish condo alternative. Minutes from Hopkins Street shops, Monterey Market, North Berkeley BART, and Fourth Street, this gem offers comfort, character, and convenience in one irresistible package.
