Welcome to this wonderful, sunny home on one of the nicest blocks in Northbrae! This 1912 home has a light and bright living and formal dining room, 3 good-sized bedrooms, and an older kitchen and bath with tub and shower. There is a large laundry/pantry room off the kitchen with access to the large back yard. There is also interior access to a full 2 car garage, along with storage. There are hardwood floors throughout much of the home and period details, adding to the charm of this home. The deck over the garage is a great place to enjoy a coffee in the morning, and the back yard is wonderful for gardening, entertaining and just relaxing. Perfectly located on a quiet Northbrae street, you're a short distance to Solano Ave. shops, cafes and restaurants. The Monterey Market shops are also nearby, and transit options incl. BART are nearby, too. You'll have the North Branch Berkeley library nearby as well as the Marin Fountain. Northbrae is one of the premier neighborhoods in Berkeley, it has wide, tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, some streets have rock pillars with stone globes as street signs, gentle hills and even pink sidewalks!
