About This Home
As of October 2019This stunning 1920's Mediterranean is located amid lush gardens at the end of a cul-de-sac and just minutes away from the amenities on Solano and North Berkeley and next to the Rose Garden and Codornices Park. Enter through the foyer to this exquisite home that has been updated and yet retains its period details, such as wrought iron railings, arches and oak floors. On this main level, the spacious living room is anchored by a fireplace, opening to the formal dining room. The updated kitchen with high-end appliances, a half bath and separate laundry room complete this level. Go upstairs to find 3 bedrooms, two of which open to a sunroom that can be used as a play or sitting area, office space or more. A spacious bathroom and additional office space are also on this level. Downstairs, a separate, street-level access fourth bedroom is ideal as family, media or guest room or as in-law unit. There is plenty of storage/closet space, with convenient interior access from the one car garage.
