About This Home
As of August 2024A true unicorn has arrived in a central Berkeley location! An extremely rare contemporary-style home offering 4 bedrooms plus an office and 2.5 baths in over 2,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. A functional layout accommodates modern lifestyles – from the large open kitchen with an eating area and built-in bench, stainless steel appliances, touchless faucet, ample cabinet space, artisan tile backsplash, & brass fixtures to the sunken living room with new French doors leading to the backyard. The front formal dining room could easily flex to a formal living area, den or 5th ground floor bedroom. A sprawling backyard completely transformed into an inviting outdoor oasis with a new contemporary redwood deck, patio, lawn, & landscaping. Enjoy peace of mind with a newer foundation & newer systems, tankless water heater, side by side W/D, new dual paned windows, new roof and 100 amp electrical service. A true contemporary gem with open wood slat railing & exterior wood treatments, recessed and designer statement lighting. At the center of it all you find yourself close to CAL, BART, Berkeley Bowl, Downtown Berkeley, parks, and schools. A rare combination of location, square footage, design quality, layout, and lot size.
