About This Home

As of September 2020

A quintessential home in one of Berkeley's most beloved and central neighborhoods. With its classically laid out floor-plan and modern updates Fulton embodies a sanctuary of home and garden. Renovated with an architect designed kitchen/family room combo, this remodeled space opens to a newly built two tiered deck that overlooks a flourishing garden. The kitchen has Carrera marble counters, skylights, a custom breakfast island, hardwood floors and ample artisan fir cabinets. The period details throughout are still in tact, wood wainscoting, built-ins, coved ceilings and picture molding all masterfully blended with modern updates. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms off a central hallway, sun porch with balcony, second full bath and a finished attic space. There is substantial room for everyone to live, work, rest and play. Unparalleled convenience to downtown, Berkeley Bowl, the Elmwood, shops & restaurants, schools, parks, CAL campus, BART and AC transit lines.
