This beautifully curated craftsman cottage is one of two homes on the same lot, but it lives independently, like a single family dwelling, and there are no HOA fees. The front of the home has a beautifully updated yard, new roof, exterior paint and lighting. Inside, you’ll find vintage charm, original details and freshly refinished oak and fir floors. The dining area features a wood burning vintage-tiled fireplace and updated pendant lighting. You’ll find rich wood cabinets and counters in the kitchen with pretty leaded glass doors, custom porcelain tile, a new refrigerator, and a classic Wedgewood stove. Just off the kitchen is a dedicated laundry room with a door to the side yard. The two roomy bedrooms bring in lots of light from the large windows and share a Jack & Jill bathroom. The peaceful, landscaped private backyard is perfect for morning coffee or entertaining. Also in the back is your own parking space with a storage shed. The location is ideal: just a few short blocks to the North Berkeley BART station and 1.6 miles to UC Berkeley with quick easy access to all Berkeley offers.
