About This Home
As of March 2024Discover the allure of this enchanting mid-century home perched in the Berkeley hills, seamlessly blending the magic of nature with contemporary comfort. Inside, light oak floors lead you through a stylish living room adorned with a vaulted exposed wood ceiling and a toasty brick fireplace framed by three picture windows showcasing lush greenery and peekaboo bay views. The updated kitchen is a gourmet's delight with quartz counters, light cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances.

Both bedrooms have hardwood floors and amply storage while the central bath is conveniently located between the two bedrooms.
