About This Home
As of April 2022Gorgeous and modern "down to the studs" renovation to this classic Berkeley home. On the main level, there are 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with completely new kitchen, appliances, bathroom, flooring, windows, plumbing, piping, electrical wiring, tankless hot water and HVAC unit. The newly finished full size basement doubles the square footage of the home, and includes a livable "in-law" unit or additional space for the main floor. Complete with kitchenette, full bathroom, large rooms, plenty of windows, and its own washer/dryer hook-ups. The home has been capped with a brand new roof, and there is a very large fully fenced back yard with large deck off the main level. There is even a sweet "artist's studio" or cute home office cottage in the yard. The large attic has been updated with skylight and flooring to provide expansive storage space with retractable ladder access.
