About This Home
As of October 2024Welcome to the best of all worlds! A single stair brings you into a fully renovated, 2+ bedroom one-level 1920’s bungalow blending updated features with intact period details. A completely remodeled & expanded kitchen features Shaker-style cabinets, a suite of GE S/S appliances, quartz counters, & handsome subway tile backsplash. The bathroom has also been tastefully updated. In addition to 2 cheerful bedrooms, there’s a flexible plus-room, ideal as an office, play room, or guest space. From this exceptionally desirable No. Berkeley tree-lined street, you’re just 1/2-block to all the amenities of Solano Ave! Enjoy refinished hardwood floors & stylish new light fixtures throughout. A former garage was rebuilt as a garden studio: you enter through new 2-pane French doors to find a new floor, insulated walls & recessed lighting. At the back is a spacious storage room or workshop. Updated systems too: new 40-year comp. shingle roof; a new heat pump provides efficient heat & welcome A/C! Stacked washer/dryer was added in the hall. A front garden welcomes you with mostly CA natives + grasses; your back fenced garden has new raised beds & patio spaces, ready for you to welcome friends!
