About This Home
$100K PRICE DROP! See it again at this fantastic new price. Amazing value! Step inside this classic Berkeley bungalow and feel the creative energy waiting to be claimed. With warm hardwood floors, rustic beamed ceilings, and a welcoming fireplace framed by built-in bookshelves, the living room invites quiet reflection or inspired gatherings. The formal dining room leads to a spacious, updated kitchen perfect for brewing coffee as the light pours in, or sketching ideas at the table. Two generous bedrooms provide restful retreats, while the back deck calls for summer evenings surrounded by the textures of a mature succulent garden. Even the cozy front porch seems designed for scribbling in a notebook or painting with morning light. Just half a block from Telegraph Avenue's lively cafes, bookstores, and boutiques, you'll find endless sparks of inspiration without ever needing your car. With UC Berkeley nearby and walk and bike scores of 94 and 97, this home places you in the heart of a vibrant, endlessly creative community.
