About This Home
As of March 2026Unsurpassed convenience blends with the warmth of natural wood inside and out in this classic Berkeley brown shingle. Vintage wainscoting, box beams, builtins and hardwood floors provide period beauty throughout. The seller enjoyed weekly visits to Cheese Board pizza & nearby neighborhood favorites, and the kitchen also inspired home cooking. New quartz counters & s/s sink are waiting in this bright space that opens to a charming seating area. Or take your meals al fresco in the welcoming, but not too demanding garden. Two spacious bedrooms, each with natural wood trim & inviting nooks, plus an updated bath complete the upstairs. Besides the Gourmet District, you are also within blocks of Live Oak Park, Monterey Market & the top of Solano, with UC Berkeley & downtown within a mile. What an ideal home for those who prefer to leave the car mostly at home at this urban retreat! Home Energy Score=3. This property is NOT for rent; beware of scams!
