About This Home
As of January 2025This Berkeley Craftsman bungalow has been a labor of love for the seller. This home abounds with modern amenities, but has kept the Berkeley vibe intact. From lush succulents to the sunflower color door. Entertain/dine in the large, lovely living room with recessed lighting, craftsman windows and red oak floors. Step onto the Brazilian slate as you enter the bright kitchen w/ gas stove, & river washed granite countertops. Your eyes will flow through the glass door to the private patio and California Oak tree. Each of the bedrooms receive lots of light and 2 built in closets function for both. A remodeled bath offers fresh design. If you are looking for cozy in the winter then turn on your radiant floor heating, it's throughout the main level. The expansive lower level opens to a laundry & exercise/playroom. Enter the 2nd bonus area for a private office or studio. You'll love the modern cottage in rear with an outdoor shower & zen feel. Come see for yourself.
