1342 Virginia Street is the sweet, light-filled 1916 Craftsman bungalow you have been searching for in the perfect North Berkeley location. What is not apparent is that down a long driveway there is a gated, private garden with a detached structure that brims with flexibility, utility, and potential for a multitude of purposes. The front house is traditional: a deep front porch with solid Craftsman pillars leads to a gracious foyer, then formal living and dining rooms. Divided-light windows bring in an abundance of natural light, highlighting details of vintage fixtures, elegant tray ceilings, and the warmth of newly refinished hardwood floors. A central kitchen maintains original charm with just the right amount of modern upgrades. The two bedrooms are separated by a bathroom. Backyard decks, patios are perfect al fresco dining and lounging options. At the rear of the property, a large, detached structure (452 sqft) is thoughtfully divided into distinct areas: 1) main area with a private entrance with a sink/countertop, and a full bathroom, 2) laundry, 3) a multipurpose studio with high ceiling and skylights, plus an adjoining workshop for creative pursuits. Located just steps from North Berkeley BART, and close to Monterey Market, cafés, parks, and all the best urban amenities.
