About This Home
As of November 2021Situated on a quiet tree-lined street where the neighbors look out for one another, two charming entrances peek above new wood fencing and quaint gates with arbors. Freshly laid grass meets established plantings and an entertaining patio tucked against a lemon tree. This sunny and fresh four bedroom duplex is near all the important amenities of the area: North Berkeley BART, Westbrae beer garden, Acme bread, Gioia pizza, and the Monterey market. Freshly painted with large sparkling windows throughout, both units have beautiful wood floors and original fireplaces. The refreshed kitchens both have subway tiling, terracotta flooring, and doors to the outside to let in the fresh air, Bedrooms are flooded with light and closets are substantial. The two bathrooms have been updated and one features gorgeous mosaic floor tiles in patterns of blue and green. Complete with spacious carport for 2 cars. The two units can easily be joined by reinstalling the hall door that was previously sealed.
