About This Home
As of November 2023Calling all dreamers, cooks, gardeners and gatherers! This house is just plain fun. Say hello to the hens as you enter in to this classic Berkeley bungalow with extensive updates! Three sweet bedrooms and two remodeled baths plus a stunning family room with floor-to-ceiling windows that open the south wall to the great outdoors. A spacious new cedar deck with firepit, grill, sink, pergola and adorned with lights---You' ll feel like you're at the hippest outdoor restaurant in town! Except that this restaurant has its own array of fruit trees, raised veggie beds and play structures. And the brand new detached office with hard-wired ethernet makes for a work-from-home dream. Walker and biker's paradise!
