About This Home

As of November 2021

This Vintage 1910 Home with 3+ bedrooms and 1.5 baths has many period details - tile fireplace, leaded glass cabinet, stained glass window, built-in storage cabinets. Oak floors upstairs and down have been refinished. The floor furnaces have been reconditioned, the water heater vented, the sewer is compliant. This house has been well maintained, but is not cosmetically upgraded. It is not staged: bring your designer/design ideas to this unspoiled palette. It has 3/1 upstairs with original built-ins for plenty of storage. The downstairs consists of a living/dining area, a country kitchen, a plus room (possible study or guest room), a 1/2 bath, and a utility room. Great North Berkeley location near BART and Ohlone Park. Considered a "Walker's Paradise" by Walk Score with a score of 93 and a Bike Score of 99. Off-street parking. TRANSPARENTLY PRICED
