About This Home
As of March 2024AN ESCAPE FROM THE ORDINARY! This Poets Corner little Oasis is truly a hidden GEM. Brought from France in the 1940s, this unique home is an absolute Beauty! Perfectly located on a quiet Cul-de-sac, on a setting full of nature. As soon as you enter the gated, private front garden, you feel the magic! The first floor consists of an inviting porch that leads you to an entrance foyer, before you enter the 20+ feet high, spectacular Living Room with an impressive large window, a Fireplace, and a built-in Dining area. The large, eat-in Kitchen could use some upgrades, it has a sliding door to the back deck. A master Bedroom with wood floors and a small skylight, and a French Door to the large back deck and a Hot Tub. The recently remodeled Bath has a window overlooking a stunning Redwood tree. A small room off the kitchen could be a 3rd bedroom or an office. It has 4 windows and a sliding door to the deck as well. The second floor consists of a 2nd. Bedroom with wood floor, a large closet and 2 small windows overlooking mature trees. The backyard is your own serene, magical, fabulous piece of The Strawberry Creek. Just a few minutes walk to The North Berkeley BART station & The Strawberry Creek Park. All in the heart of Berkeley.WOW!!
