About this home

Extensively remodeled with nearly all systems replaced in 2023, this turn-key cutie is the move-in ready Berkeley dream home you've been waiting for. Open concept living and dining rooms charm immediately, with stylish exposed wood elements and abundant south-facing natural light. The modern kitchen is built to both seriously cook, as well as to entertain. A large, spa-like bathroom with dual sinks and walk-in shower sits down the hall. Continue on to the bedrooms, both of which offer direct flow to the backyard – dreamy! The primary bedroom also boasts a lovely en-suite bathroom. In the backyard is the cottage/office/bonus space, already work-from-home ready with ethernet. The lot is huge, with a deck and lawn, plus tons of potential for future garden projects. Centrally located in the heart of the Berkeley Bowl neighborhood, this home offers easy access to transportation (under a mile to BART! Quick zip to the freeway!) as well as green space (nearly equidistant between San Pablo Park and Strawberry Creek). | Home energy score of 10

About South

Berkeley

South Berkeley, located between Ashby Avenue and Dwight Way, is a residential and artsy Berkeley neighborhood with Craftsman bungalows and a well-used bike grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Adeline Street at Alcatraz Avenue, where taquerias, coffee counters, small markets, and murals set a steady street rhythm. Ashby BART and the Berkeley Flea Market add a weekly pulse of transit and street commerce. Lorin District storefronts and low-slung apartment courts line key corridors, while side streets stay leafy and quiet. San Pablo Park anchors open space with courts, lawns, and a community center. The Ashby Avenue corridor links local eateries and everyday errands without losing the neighborhood’s porch-and-garden feel.
