About This Home
As of April 2020Nested on a quiet residential street in the heart of Berkeley, this charming, single-family home on The Plaza Drive was one of the first homes in the neighborhood. Originally built in 1910 and lovingly maintained by the same family for sixty years, this turn-of-the-century stunner was beautifully renovated in the 1960s. The quintessence of curb appeal, 45 Plaza is set on one of the most coveted lots in the enclave. A sunny, south-facing plot plays host to a sprawling, 2,500-square foot home that spans four generous bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Set in a desirable location, this shingled stunner is both easy to access and free from through traffic. Located equidistance to two city-bound thoroughfares for the ultimate commuter convenience, this Berkeley gem is situated nearby top schools, high-end grocers, hiking and biking trials, as well as the Highlands Country Club and University of California Berkeley.
