You’ll love coming home to this charming 2+ bedroom, 2 bath bungalow, tucked away in Berkeley’s Westbrae neighborhood. The living room is ample and bright, the kitchen has many upgrades, and there are great plus spaces. You’ll be close to so much, too! The Westbrae Biergarten, Coffee Conscious, Berkeley Bagels, Kiku Sushi, Berkeley Natural Grocery, and Westbrae Nursery are all literally just around the corner. Monterey Market, Solano Avenue shops, and BART are just minutes away. Ditch the car and explore the neighborhood for a meal or shopping. The current owners have loved living here for the past 20 years, while raising three kids. They’ve enjoyed annual block parties and made great friendships with their neighbors. They’ve made many upgrades over the years, remodeled the kitchen, added a second bath, electric vehicle charger, and an outdoor hot tub in the lovely garden to name a few. There is a bonus lower room, and the garage has been converted into an office/flex space. It’s a house that has been well-loved and is ready for its next owner to make new memories.
