About This Home
As of November 2020This Northbrae home’s timeless redesign offers a flexible floor plan and incredible natural light in every room, entering through the many floor to ceiling windows and multiple skylights then bouncing off of the bright, small plank oak floors that extend throughout. Working from home? There are 2 designated areas upstairs with built in desks and limitless configuration options downstairs. The exterior has been thoughtfully landscaped and is a dreamy oasis from the world. The generously sized basement has been used as a woodworking shop and for storage galore. The neighborhood, without question, boasts close proximity to Shattuck and Solano Avenues offering many shops, outdoor dining options and other amenities. If Berkeley living is ideal for you, this home solidifies that lifestyle. Welcome home!
