About This Home

As of July 2025

Sweet surprises await you in this exquisite and charming Mediterranean bungalow nestled in one of Berkeley’s most adored neighborhoods. The spacious formal living and dining rooms showcase the home's original character with a vintage tiled fireplace, and glass etched built-in cabinetry, creating an inviting space for both entertaining and relaxation. Views of front yard foliage lend the home a one-with-nature feel. Its recently updated kitchen features quartz counters, an array of cabinets and storage and new stainless steel appliances. The adjacent breakfast nook can easily double as a home office. The outdoor experience is equally exceptional with a sweet, low maintenance California Natives garden. Superbly maintained and cherished by its owner, this home boasts many improvements made over the years, including a seismic retrofit, double-paned windows, drainage, & a complete paint job in a designer palette. The neighborhood embodies Berkeley living at its finest. You'll appreciate the exceptional proximity to Berkeley Bowl, Whole Foods, Downtown and College Avenue shops, and an endless variety of eateries. Ashby Bart Station is a stone’s throw away and the property boasts a Walk Score® of 92 and a Bike Score of 99. Malcolm X Elementary is located approximately half a mile away.
