About This Home
As of August 2024This exceptionally maintained and tastefully updated 1955 home is the perfect blend of contemporary elegance and the surrounding natural beauty. Perched up in the North Berkeley Hills, there’s the beloved neighborhood park & playground of the Parkhills Homeowners Association around the corner, and countless scenic Tilden trails begin practically at your door. Yet it’s only a short drive to Berkeley's finest restaurants, shops, highly regarded public schools*, and BART. The main floor boasts 3 bedrooms/2baths, and a sunny eat-in kitchen with custom cabinets, high-end appliances, and a pantry. Tilden views from the living and dining room are captivating! The large downstairs is the perfect office space and can double as a TV or guest room, allowing peace and serenity. It has it's own entrance and a private patio by a charming flower bed. High-end features throughout include dual-pane windows, random plank hardwood floors, and natural wood moldings. Plus a spacious 2-car garage and an electrical car charger. A happy lime and plum tree, plus a sizable terraced garden might inspire the urban farmer! Think Limoncello and fresh produce from your own piece of land. The stunning modern concrete patio with cafe lights is big enough to host all your loved ones! www.3TheShortcut.com
