About This Home
As of March 2025This elegant light-filled Victorian-style home, set on a spacious lot in North Berkeley, has been well maintained and cared for. Nestled in a prime location, the main residence features a formal living room with a charming fireplace, an open-concept kitchen, and a seamless flow between the dining and family rooms, leading to a generous backyard—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Upstairs, you'll find three well-appointed bedrooms and one bathroom. One of the bedrooms boasts its own fireplace, creating a warm and inviting retreat. A full-sized attic may offer a potential for a unique transformation to suit your needs. At the rear of the upper level, a private one-bedroom apartment—with its own separate entrance from the side of the house—provides a fantastic opportunity for rental income. Ideally located, this home is just moments from vibrant shops, restaurants, the North Berkeley BART station, and in close proximity to UC Berkeley. Why don't you make this your home sweet home?
