About This Home

As of December 2022

Light, Bright, & Charming Highwater Bungalow in a super-central Berkeley location near NB BART, Ohlone Park, 4th Street Shops & Restaurants, Farmers’ Markets, and more. Well maintained with refinished floors and fresh interior paint. BONUS: the former detached garage was replaced with almost 500sf of FABULOUSNESS. Used as office studios, with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and beautiful wood siding exterior, its three rooms are staged as a lounge, a large office, & a library. It looks a LOT like an easy future ADU. Between the house and the studio, a professionally designed, low-maintenance paver patio includes potted trees and succulents, fountain, BBQ, and a permitted half-bath addition under the kitchen. Laundry and tons of storage in the full basement. Backup portable generator. Stone path, established garden, raised beds. Relax & enjoy!
