About This Home

As of May 2021

Vintage Colonial Revival exterior; light filled interior has been tastefully and expertly updated including the systems. Desirable corner lot. Super cute, detached, fully appointed studio cottage extends the feeling of main home to be more like a 3 bedroom 3 bath. An abundance of interesting fruit trees dot the property inlcuding Persimmon, Mission Fig, Apple-Pear, Pomelo, Meyer Lemon and a fragrant Himalayan Champaca. Choice North Berkeley location, near all the things we love and need to make our lives convenient. Close to North Berkeley BART, Northbrae shops, Monterey Market, Shattuck Ave's Gourmet Ghetto, and it's just a few minutes to Solano Ave shops and restaurants. A vibrant area! Freeway 80 and 580 are minutes away. Note: Square footage shown does not include separate cottage. Website:
