About This Home

As of February 2019

Poet’s Corner, a quaint Central Berkeley neighborhood, is known for being a well-established residential community with easy access to business hubs, dining and shopping. This adobe bungalow on Browning Street (named after the English poet and playwright, Robert Browning) welcomes the artist in you to settle in and create a cozy abode. With an open concept living, dining and kitchen, plus a lovely front porch, hanging out at home will be a treat you’ll want to share with others. The abundant dual-pane windows and skylights allow natural light to quench your sun thirst. Out back, enjoy a fire while stargazing, meditate next to the pond, harvest citrus, figs and apples, or create your masterpiece in the detached art studio. Meet your friends at one of the many cafés or restaurants nearby, or spend an afternoon at the Berkeley Public Library’s West Branch. For those with more demanding schedules, it’s also an easy commute to multiple business hubs and a Bike Score of 99!
