Nestled in a vibrant North Berkeley neighborhood, 2140 Rose St is a charming split-level home dating from the early 1920s. As you enter from the front porch into the living room, the door swings closed and you immediately leave behind the hustle and bustle for peace and quiet. A fireplace is the focal point of the living room, while the hardwood floors flow directly into the dining room, featuring traditional built-in cabinetry. Beyond is the sunny kitchen with a skylight, new appliances, enchanting breakfast nook and access to the back deck and yard. Back inside, take a few steps up and you’ll find two bedrooms, a full bathroom and plentiful storage. Alternatively, a few steps down will take you to the third bedroom, second bathroom, laundry closet and media room. The side yard features a storage shed perfect for bikes, while additional storage spaces can be found under the deck. Just blocks from renowned spots - the original Peet’s Coffee, Fava, Chez Panise, Cheeseboard, the farmer’s market, Live Oak Park and approximately half a mile from UC Berkeley, 2140 Rose allows you to live in the middle of it all, while feeling completely serene.
