About This Home

As of April 2022

You can hear Dave Brubeck playing Take Five in your head when you walk into this home. It's a beautiful fusion of old world charm and Berkeley chic all rolled up into 1468sf of cool. Upgraded windows keep this home warm, cozy and a little seductive when Karl the fog visits. The updated kitchen begs you to embrace your inner minimalist baker. Don't want to cook? No worries, with a walk score of 95 you can stroll to lots of Berkeley's best eateries. Have to head into SF for a meeting? Ashby BART is a 7 minute walk. The farmers market is right there or Berkeley Bowl is just a few minutes farther. You can read about the 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths don't need me to tell you about that, but the gleaming original hardwood floors are really worth a mention. Finished basement makes for a massive family room, bonus room, office, flex space or maybe have the band over. Secluded back yard makes for lovely al fresco dining, or summer morning coffee and a book.
