About This Home

As of May 2023

Unique property in North Berkeley's Westbrae quiet neighborhood. Originally a small single family home it was added to and expanded. The second building, an accessory structure, is like an artist's studio. This beautifully finished space has vaulted ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors and 1/2 bath. It has been used in the past for various small gatherings - and is a beautiful space to comfortably hold small groups. Both the home and the studio space have access to a garden-like large (approx. 6,000 sq foot) lot, with a street front privacy fence. There is a side yard access. The large lot offers privacy and room for expansion.
