About This Home

As of October 2024

A Craftsman Bungalow that has been lovingly remodeled and expanded, this home is tucked away from the street behind mature hedges and vines. Welcoming foyer opens to the living room with a fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors. It leads to the dining room and updated kitchen on one side, two of 3 bedrooms on the other. The bright, updated kitchen offers lots of butcherblock countertop space and Greenhouse windows to grow your herbs. Bedrooms have plenty of closet space and share an updated hall bath, while the Primary Suite comes with an adjoining den or office, and direct access to the lovely patio in back —a serene space for outdoor dining, relaxation, or entertaining guests. The detached former garage has been turned into a fantastic modern space for work, play or guests with its own bathroom and kitchenette. This versatile area enhances the property's livability, offering a private sanctuary with its own entrance. With its ultra-convenient location, you're just moments away from Berkeley's vibrant shops, popular event spaces, and transportation options. This move-in ready Berkeley gem offers modern finishes, convenience and flexibility, in a great central location.
