About This Home
As of March 2021Highly sought after one bedroom condo designed by one of the Bay Area's great architects, Roger Yuen Lee. His properties are rarely on the market and are often passed on to family and friends. This unpretentious condo harmonizes with nature as it presents a full wall of windows bringing indoor and outdoor spaces together. There is a private deck which extends the entire length of the unit. Located away from the street at the end of a quiet path, this condo evokes serenity and peace. There is a large bedroom with French doors which open onto the deck. A second area can be used as an office, nursery, or guest area. The kitchen features all newer appliances. The adjacent living room is ideal for entertaining. Beautiful cork floors through out continue the sense of being close to nature. The laundry is located in the adjacent building. This is a wonderful opportunity to live in one of the most desirable locations in Berkeley, close to campus, many amenities, yet so peaceful and private.
