About This Home
As of June 2022Delightfully updated Victorian in Berkeley’s historic Lorin District. Architectural integrity, original character, and modern upgrades are the hallmarks of this lovely property. Light pours through the oversized windows and fills every inch of space between the original Douglas fir floors and the nearly 10' tall ceilings. The open living/dining rooms are complemented by a kitchen made for casual gatherings and camaraderie while cooking. Sliding doors open to the deck and the sunny fenced garden. The main floor has 2 bedrooms and a full bath. The light fest continues on the 2nd floor, with skylit vaulted ceilings and a roof deck! The central space makes a wonderful family room with 2 adjoining bedrooms and a stylishly updated bath. There's also an enormous stand-up basement for mega-storage, hobby space, and laundry. So close to Berkeley Bowl, BART, and UCB, a "Walker's/Biker's Paradise" ®.
