About This Home

As of January 2017

Passive solar home on almost an acre is the City of Berkeley Lake! Amazing flagstone patio with TWO firepits, plenty of room for entertaining, steps lead to the patio outside the entry to the home-tons of windows but SOOO energy efficient. Two car garage with lots of additional storage space. Large storage building and lots of beautiful easy maintenance landscaping-no grass! One of the least expensive homes on the market in Berkeley Lake and loaded with charm and character. Priced to sell!
