Sat 5/5 & Sun 5/6 2 to 4:30 PM. NOT A CONDO. ~No HOA dues~ If you have long wanted to own a home & live an active Berkeley lifestyle, WITHOUT being house-poor, 1270 Delaware Street is an ideal opportunity! This bright, charming Spanish-style cottage offers everything one needs – a comfortably sized kitchen and living area, spacious full bathroom, queen-bed-friendly bedroom, laundry, & large closet/storage area to boot! Outside, a generous, sunny courtyard provides amazing indoor/outdoor living possibilities. Even the most modestly creative “tiny house” aficionados who “would, but,” will find a tremendously welcoming palette w/which to work in achieving an efficient & enriching lifestyle both affordably & happily. With its warm, original oak floors & abundance of natural light, this freestanding home simply runs rings around similarly sized condos which, frankly, are very hard to come by in this neighborhood. North Berkeley BART is just a few blocks up the street.
