About This Home
As of September 2018This oasis is nestled in North Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto, steps from parks, the library, markets, public transportation, shops and cafes. Through an inviting entryway the living room features wall-height bay window and original fireplace. Off the dining room, with a gorgeous built-in, a short hall leads to three bedrooms and a full bath. A spacious remodeled eat-in kitchen has abundant countertops and high-end stainless steel appliances including a Thermador stove. A few steps down from the kitchen is a plus room with half-bath that works great as a private guest room or office. Double french doors draw you directly from the kitchen to a level-out redwood deck with space for a large table, a grill and a full-sized in-ground pool and jacuzzi. The heated pool was highly prized by the sellers and used from April through November.
