About This Home
As of November 2021On the market after being the family anchor for brothers Davey & Andy for more than 4 decades. This luminous Spanish Mediterranean home has an arched entry to the bright living room w/ large windows to view this idyllic North Berkeley block, an arched entry to the formal dining room w/ a bank of windows & a large eat-in kitchen w/ French doors to the backyard. The homey kitchen is sizable & has space for a dozen guests to gather. There is a western facing garden window, tons of storage, handsome granite counters and 3 appliance garages to keep that toaster & coffee equipment out of sight. The bedrooms are generous & the bathroom is enhanced by beautiful tiles, vaulted ceilings and a skylight. This sunny street w/ sidewalks is close to some of the Best of Berkeley w/ a Walk & Bike Score of 86. Davey & Andy would not trade growing up on this unspoiled block for anything. A particularly fond memory is joining the neighbors to light luminaries on Christmas Eve what a magical moment.
