As of July 2025Charming, two-story, four-bedroom, 2-bath Craftsman-style home with a delightful low maintenance backyard & a location that epitomizes convenience.

Minutes to the original Berkeley Bowl, Ashby BART, Shotgun Players, Ted Robert’s Campus, Emilia’s Pizzeria, Nick’s Pizza, El Tiny Cafe, Nomad Cafe, Cafe Buenos Aires, La Pena & The Starry Plough. Features include a large, updated country kitchen with backyard access, a sun-filled living rm with window seat, coved ceiling & original built-ins, a first floor bedroom & bath and 3 spacious bedrooms, including a primary bedroom w/ en suite bath upstairs.
