About This Home

Classic Berkeley brown-shingle bungalow filled with warmth and character. This two-bedroom, one-bathroom home features inviting living spaces, including a welcoming entry, comfortable living room, formal dining room, and spacious kitchen perfect for hosting and everyday life. A wraparound deck creates a private outdoor retreat, ideal for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or entertaining under the stars. The West facing backyard and sunny front yard offer space for gardening, play, or the potential to add an extra unit (or more?), providing flexibility for future plans. A dedicated laundry room adds convenience, while the location makes commuting a breeze—just minutes from Ashby BART, AC Transit, freeways, Berkeley Bowl, Alcatraz Avenue, and the South Berkeley Farmers’ Market. Parks like Grove Park and San Pablo Park are nearby for recreation, while Downtown Berkeley, UC Berkeley, and the city's dynamic arts and culture scene are all within easy reach. A wonderful home and an exciting opportunity to build an additional unit(s).
