About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 69 Stratford Rd – where timeless design meets modern comfort and unbeatable convenience. Nestled in a sought-after Berkeley neighborhood, this stunning single-level home is perfect for buyers who want the best of both worlds: quiet residential charm and quick access to urban amenities. Just minutes to BART, vibrant shopping districts, and top-rated restaurants—and a short drive or train ride to the heart of San Francisco! Inside, you’ll find newly refinished hardwood floors that flow effortlessly through a light-filled living and dining area, all framed by captivating views of the San Francisco skyline. The kitchen is a true standout—modernized with new cabinetry, appliances, and tile flooring, yet preserving its character with a custom backsplash crafted from original 1950s tile art. Both bedrooms are generously sized, featuring built-in closet systems for optimal storage. The updated bathroom brings a fresh and playful vibe with new tile, lighting, and fixtures (2025). A separate laundry area adds everyday functionality to this beautifully thought-out floor plan. Step outside and let your imagination run wild: entertain on the patio, create your dream garden, or enjoy the space in many ways possible.
