About This Home

As of April 2021

Nearby to downtown Berkeley yet feeling removed from urban life, this cozy brown shingle cottage harkens back to bygone era. Through a side gate, the cottage door opens to a wide deck stretching out to the yard. There’s a sense of calm in opening the front door not to the street but to a deck and garden. The level garden is calling out for a green thumb to create the sanctuary it yearns to be! Wood floors warm the open kitchen and living room. A modern kitchen is at the heart of this home. The vaulted living room ceiling brings a sense of spaciousness. The 2 corner bedrooms are tidy and efficient. The laundry room doubles as a mudroom and a separate concrete patio provides additional outdoor space for entertaining. Sitting on the edge of Central Berkeley and Poet’s Corner, the cottage is approx. 0.6 miles from both N Berkeley and Dwntwn Berkeley BART. Walk Score® of 83, Bike ScoreTM of 97 and just 6-blocks from Civic Center farmers’ market makes living without a car a real possibility.
