Cheerful and bright, this updated 3/2 bungalow has an easy flow, lovely garden of native plants, lawn, producing garden beds, and detached garage. A cozy covered porch invites you to sit for a while and meet the neighbors. While inside, the vibe is airy with open concept living/ dining/ kitchen and large windows in every room. The spacious master bedroom has en suite bathroom with walk in shower. Kitchen and bathrooms updated with permits. Good flow to back deck and yard where passion flowers bloom, lemons grow, strawberries ripen, garden beds are jubilant with snap peas and carrots, and the lawn is lush - all on irrigation. Detached garage, newly constructed in 2016 with permits, has finished interior. Very centrally located - grab a bite at eateries like Paisan, Mehak, or Le Pho, get groceries at Mi Tierra or Berkeley Bowl West, a coffee at Highwire, a whiskey at Acme Bar & Co, or get sporty at nearby San Pablo Park.
