About This Home

As of July 2025

Tucked amongst the trees, 1270 Queens is a calm retreat from the busy world. With views of SF & GG Bridge from the deck, and a flat front yard & patio, this home is perfect for those seeking a relaxed lifestyle. The level-in entrance draws you into the living room, featuring a beautiful fireplace mantle. With oversized windows on both the eastern and western sides of the room, you can’t help but feel connected to nature. The layout flows directly into the dining area and the tastefully updated kitchen, making entertaining effortless. The kitchen is bright and spacious with a large skylight, loads of counter space & storage. Two comfortable bedrooms share the main floor, as does an updated bathroom with a spa-like tub/shower combo. Downstairs is another large bedroom, full bathroom with laundry and its own exterior entrance. The entire home has been updated with a heat pump mini-split system providing both heat & AC. Unique for Berkeley, this home has a gorgeous stone driveway and structurally-reinforced 2 car garage with a 220V plug ready for a car charger. Amazing amenities such as La Loma Park’s playground and Terrace View Park’s rock climbing are just 2 blocks away. An AC Transit bus stop is a block away where Queens Ave meets Shasta Road making your commute a breeze!
