About This Home

As of June 2025

Peaceful North Berkeley Craftsman ideally located near Solano Avenue, Memorial Park, and Colusa Circle. Sited on a down-sloped lot and surrounded by lush gardens, 616 Colusa offers level-in living (to both floors) and views of the Bay Bridge and SF bay. The private enclosed front garden welcomes you with a babbling fountain. Through the front door you are drawn to the expansive open concept living room and dining room with peek-a-boo views out to the Bay. Awash with natural light, the main living space has soaring ceilings with exposed beams and a stunning floor to ceiling fireplace and seamlessly connects to the updated kitchens, with stainless steel appliances, and flows directly out to the large deck for entertaining. Rounding out the main floor are two bedrooms and one fully remodeled bathroom. Down from the main level is the family room along with two bedrooms (including primary en-suite) and two full bathrooms. The spacious primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat with walk-in closet, updated en-suite bathroom, and french doors out to the breathtaking garden. Bursting with flowers and beautifully cultivated, the back garden was lovingly created over the years. Open Thurs, 5/8, 9:30am-12:00pm, Sundays 5/11 & 5/18, 2-4pm
