About This Home

As of October 2022

A home truly in the sweet spot of Berkeley. Just a block and a half from Solano and a few blocks from Kensington Circle (Sunday Farmers Market! Pub and live music!) this lovely one-level home on a tree-lined street is move-in ready. Sunny throughout, with front and back gardens it also features a skylit detached studio with french doors to the garden in the fully rebuilt converted garage. Foundation replaced in 2005, electrical and plumbing upgrades. Efficiently designed kitchen with plentiful cabinets, granite countertops and breakfast bar. A great floor plan with two nicely separated bedrooms and updated bathroom. The location is perfect for the easy life...around the block from just about anything you need!
