About This Home
As of April 2023A wide front porch greets you as you approach this sweet 1920's Craftsman. It's been lovingly remodeled while honoring the authentic details of the era, lending warmth and charm to this endearing home. The open floor plan of the living and dining room gives a spacious feel. The updated kitchen has a huge garden window perfect for growing herbs and letting in the light. See-through built-ins define the space between the dining area and the kitchen. You will love the romantic clinker brick fireplace in the living room. The refreshed bath has beautiful sea green tiles. Stroll out of the kitchen to the deck and large sunny garden with a small studio featuring new floors, walls and has pitched rafter ceilings- your ideal office or meditation spot? There are refinished oak hardwood floors throughout. Appliances are all new and include washer, dryer, refrigerator, and stove. All new paint inside and out. The home feels calm and private, yet you have easy access to shops and restaurants, like the Homemade Cafe, Ashby BART, I80. Enjoy Vibrant Berkeley Living! Open Sunday March 5, 2-:00-4:30pm
