About This Home

As of October 2024

Feel the enchantment of this Victorian Farmhouse style home the moment you step through the front gate! Secreted away in Central Berkeley, modern updates blend seamlessly with vintage details. The front house has two bedrooms, two full baths, fully remodeled kitchen and laundry area with all new appliances, new paint inside and out, refinished wood floors, refreshed bathrooms and a brand new deck (all done in 2024). Meander around the house and enjoy the magical gardens full of blooming flowers, veggies, and an apple tree in front. A modern one bedroom, one bath ADU is in back, with its own secret garden, in-unit laundry and storage shed with room for bicycles. A third detached structure has been used as an office, playroom and storage. For those who love unique properties, you don't want to miss this! It's private, yet close to coffee, food and Downtown Berkeley. The ADU offers room for relatives, guests or potential rental income.
