About This Home
As of December 2021In the heart of Poet's Corner and close to Strawberry Creek Park, this sweet and sunny bungalow has been lovingly updated and maintained. Large living and dining room with fireplace, skylight and beautiful built-ins ooze architectural charm. The spacious kitchen is flooded with light and has an attached laundry room. The adjacent large and sunny “bonus” sunroom has floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the lush garden oasis. Gleaming hardwood floors, fresh paint, a 1-car garage and plenty of storage. Solar cells keep the electric bill to a minimum. Convenient and central location near bike paths, tennis courts, shops and restaurants, West Berkeley and Downtown Berkeley, North Berkeley BART & AC Transit. A charming starter home in a great neighborhood!
