About This Home
As of October 2025Nestled in one of North Berkeley’s most beloved and convenient neighborhoods (WalkScore 94!), this spacious 1BR condo offers timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable lifestyle. Just one block from the original Peet’s Coffee, with the farmers’ market, Cheeseboard, Chez Panisse, Saul’s, Cafenated Coffee, and more just up around the corner, this location places you at the heart of Berkeley’s renowned culinary and cafe scene. Live Oak Park, UC Berkeley, the downtown arts district, and BART are also minutes away. As inviting as the location is, the property matches its appeal, with a generous layout, gleaming hardwood floors, period built-ins, and French doors connecting the living and formal dining rooms. The remodeled kitchen and bath offer modern convenience while preserving classic character; abundant storage and covered offstreet parking add everyday ease. Set in a small, well-maintained 1920s building in an idyllic North Berkeley setting, this is a rare find!
