About This Home

As of October 2021

Welcome to 1621 63rd Street - a blend of industrial chic + brown shingle traditional. The curb appeal alone will draw you in, and once inside you can feel the love, care, and creativity that was poured into this vibrant custom home. Lifted in the mid-2000s, the lower level was originally designed for a ceramics studio and boasts soaring 10ft ceilings, concrete floors, and floor-to-ceiling custom shelves. In recent years, the art studio has been used as an in-law welcoming visiting professors, traveling nurses and out-of-town guests. The upper level is drenched in light, with an open-concept kitchen. Flexible, this home can be used a 2++ bed/1.5 bath with an 1/1 in-law, or as an oversized 3++/2.5 bath home. Large attic too! There is a huge yard with great indoor-outdoor flow and space for entertaining. Located in South Berkeley on tree-lined street, near Tues Farmer's Market, 63rd St mini park. Easy access to Rockridge, Temescal, College Ave, Ashby BART. Must see...and feel!
