About This Home
As of July 2024This 1899 Craftsman has the eclectic vibes and vintage beauty we love, and the modernized systems we need for easy living just below the surface. Although it’s conveniently located, the property feels like a retreat, tucked behind its garden fence. There are many plus rooms - office, sun room, and finished attic loft. In the back garden is a 424 square foot detached building ideal for an office, workshop, or art studio. ADU potential should be explored! And the big lot offers plenty of space for your horticultural visions, with productive fruit trees and potting area. Newer foundation, plumbing, rewiring, furnace, and roof. Close to all sorts of shopping and attractions like BART, Berkeley Bowl, UC Berkeley, and downtown. Attic and rear building are not included in the published square footage.
