This 1915 home glows with the warmth of the era. Craftsman details, vintage fixtures and gracious proportions throughout provide a lovely traditional two-story home. Located on a quiet street, it is also a stone's throw to the vibrant Solano Avenue, Monterey Market, and North Berkeley, in a neighborhood that typically sees homeowners stay for generations. 4 bedrooms/3 baths and a sunporch two-room office provide elbow room for all. Add to that - two storage sheds plus a little cottage office/playroom, a private back garden with patio, large deck, hot tub and level lawn area. Even the front yard offers a sweet sitting area, offering mature landscaping for private lush views from the living and dining rooms. Many dual-paned windows, a spacious ensuite, plentiful closets and a lovely kitchen with breakfast booth.
