About This Home

As of May 2023

First time on the market in 37 years, this charming and light-filled Craftsman bungalow with many original details and updates is situated on a corner lot in the heart of one of the most desirable and convenient neighborhoods in Berkeley! A large foyer leads to a spacious living/dining area that features a gas fireplace and beautiful built-in cabinet. The four bedrooms (three on the main level and one upstairs) are all generously proportioned; the one on the second level has a multi-purpose area that can easily be used as an office or nursery. The updated kitchen has cherry cabinets that were just refinished and also has an adjoining laundry room. A bedroom and full bathroom are also just off of the kitchen, offering the ideal, private au pair or in-law arrangement. The home is located just blocks from the North Berkeley BART station and within easy walking distance of the Monterey Market-Hopkins Street shopping area, with the Cheese Board and other Shattuck Avenue shops and restaurants in close proximity. Besides completely fresh interior paint throughout, other updates include a tankless water heater, new electrical wiring on the main level, new light fixtures, and new countertops/sinks/faucets in two of the bathrooms. A private fenced-in level backyard completes the picture!
