About This Home

As of October 2023

Ideally situated South Berkeley cutie. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage is move-in ready and brimming with expansion potential. Cozy living room with large picture window lets in lots of morning light. Formal dining room features original wainscoting, picture rails, box beam ceilings and built-ins, topped off by a gas-burning fireplace with a handsome tile surround. Refinished original wood floors throughout enrich the charm and character of the home's 1915 vintage. The well-proportioned kitchen features all stainless appliances and a butcher block-topped island, providing plenty of space to create your next culinary masterpiece. 2 cheerful bedrooms and one roomy bath finish off the indoor living space. New redwood deck off the kitchen opens onto the sunny back yard. Full basement and expansive attic hold lots of potential for added living space. This vibrant and friendly neighborhood offers so much! Just 5 block to Ashby BART, 2 blocks to S Berkeley Branch Library and renowned Sunday brunch at the Thai temple, and a quick jaunt up Oregon St to Berkeley Bowl Marketplace. Bike Score 97, Walk Score 86!
