Charm, character, and exquisite North Berkeley living await in this upgraded 3BD/3BA Cape Cod-inspired home with a modern full service studio ADU in the back. A green gabled roof and English garden welcome you to the 1562 SQFT home which lives large because of its spacious and flexible living areas. Two sunny, large rooms - each featuring fireplaces, hardwood floors, and picture windows - make for multiple possibilities for living, dining, or working from home. The renovated kitchen is roomy with a breakfast nook, walk-in pantry, stylish cabinets and counters, Viking stovetop, farmhouse sink, plus a convenient laundry room off to the side. Upstairs find two bedrooms tucked away for privacy and quiet, both with large closets and built-in storage. A new full bath with chic tiling completes the floor. Downstairs another new bath has been added near a small work area. Step outside to the wonderful patio canopied by mature landscaping where you can entertain or relax. The free-standing 395 SQFT ADU is also flexible, ready as a rental unit with a small kitchen, full bath, and AC, or as a potential office or workspace. The long driveway provides ample off-street parking, and BART is nearby. Ideally located, with world-class dining, shopping, parks, & UC Berkeley just down the road.
