About This Home
As of June 2024Light and bright, with views of the Bay from the living room and primary suite, your Berkeley Hills home awaits! Enter through the foyer and into the living room, with its handsome fireplace, original wood floors, and a wall of windows looking out to San Francisco and the Bay. With a formal dining room for home-cooked meals, and an eat-in kitchen for early morning coffee, this home has room for you to grow into. Upstairs, one spacious bedroom has windows onto the private back garden, while the primary suite has stunning views of the city, an en-suite bathroom & access to the backyard. All 3 bedrooms upstairs have beautiful, original, recently uncovered, and well-preserved hardwood floors. On the lower split level, there is a large laundry room with a half-bath, and as you continue down the stairs, you discover a secondary living room with yet another fireplace, or as it was called in times gone by, a rumpus room. The backyard garden is private and sunny, with a patio for al fresco dining and summertime hangouts. Half a mile from Young's Market, Country Cheese Coffee Market, and the #7 bus stop. 0.3 miles to Dorothy Bolte Park with an upper and lower playground and a space for picnics and gatherings. First time on the market in 55 years, this home offers a wonderful opportunity!
