About This Home

As of October 2020

Classic California craftsman bungalow in beautiful North Berkeley. Original details abound in this meticulously maintained 1916 home. The open floor plan encompasses 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, remodeled kitchen, and a bright spacious living room that flows nicely into the dining area. The historic craftsman details remain with the built-ins, inlaid hardwood floors, cozy fireplace, and wainscoting in the generous sized dining room. Come home to a lovely landscaped front yard that boasts California native plants, and a backyard that is great for gardening, entertaining, and dining. A detached garage provides plenty of storage - or can be used as a zoom room! The open feel of the home is magnificent, and the location could not be more ideal: 3 blocks from North Berkeley Bart, Monterey Market, Shattuck Ave, Totland Playground, retail stores, cafes, and restaurants all in short distance. Additional upgrades include a newer roof, windows, heating, electrical, plumbing and seismic retrofit.
