About This Home
As of May 2023Stunning, down-to-the-studs renovation of a classic early 1900's corner store. Major systems updated; extensive remodel (with permits) highlights vintage details, but with a modern edge. Sprawling & sophisticated upper level flat with open, bright, tree-top views. Custom designed bathrooms; spectacular kitchen with cabinetry by Ghostown Woodworks. Lower level, with separate address (3120), has dramatic high ceilings and an open, flexible floor plan suited to creative pursuits, live/work, or separate guest unit. Both levels have kitchens and in-unit laundry and are separately metered for electric and gas. The building has been used as one large residence with lots of square footage and extra spaces: a single door connects up and down to combine them. Private outdoor space on both levels: enjoy sunset vistas on the upper deck, or entertaining at the garden level. Fantastic oversized attached garage provides more functional space. On a sweet tree-lined street just blocks away from Berkeley Bowl and Ashby BART, close to downtown and UC.
