About This Home
As of May 2022This beautiful Mediterranean bungalow in Berkeley’s Northbrae neighborhood sits tucked away on a quiet side street just blocks from both Monterey Market and North Berkeley BART! With 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, there’s space for all the household’s activities. Upon entering, you’ll be welcomed by the floor-to-ceiling bow windows and the tiled fireplace flanked by fabulous gumwood built-ins. The formal dining room is graced by a wall of windows and more original cabinetry, while the updated kitchen includes a sun-filled breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. The rear garden has just-the-right-sized deck, raised beds for flowers, herbs, and veggies, and a bright patch of grass on which to play. The detached garage provides room for an office, a workshop, and loads of extra storage. The home's many upgrades include a high-efficiency furnace, a tankless water heater, a stackable washer/dryer, and dual paned windows throughout.
