About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to 2705 Mathews Street – a Berkeley classic where charm meets modern comfort. Step inside to discover original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a decorative fireplace that set the stage for this cozy retreat. The home has seen numerous updates, including air conditioning to keep you cool all summer long. The two inviting bedrooms offer ample closet space and tranquil views – perfect for unwinding after a long day. The kitchen, with its custom tile counters and stainless steel appliances, flows effortlessly to the deck and backyard, creating an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor living. Out back, a charming casita sits tucked beneath the shade of a towering redwood. Inside, plaster walls and a flagstone floor create a serene, sun-dappled escape – perfect for an art studio, home office, or personal hideaway. The partially converted garage provides even more space for a home gym, workspace, or a cozy spot to relax and recharge. Situated in a neighborhood known for its tree-lined streets, blooming gardens, and laid-back BBQs with the neighbors, this home is a true Berkeley gem. Take a leisurely stroll to San Pablo Park, Berkeley Bowl, Hidden Cafe, or Third Culture Bakery for a tasty treat, with easy access to 80 and BART. Updated, welcoming, and full of character!
