This charming 1924 Berkeley bungalow is located in the heart of South Berkeley. You will feel like you are home when you enter and see beautiful high ceilings, large windows, hardwood floors, an American Craftsman fireplace in the living room as it flows to the formal dining room with the original built-in cabinets. The bedrooms all have high ceilings and the third main bedroom is en suite. The kitchen is a cook and entertainer’s delight with upgraded appliances and plenty of room for prep. The backyard is perfect for gatherings with friends and family and a pace away from the garage that has the potential to become an ADU for more living space or a rental. The attention to detail when the house was updated kept all the old world charm but added modern conveniences that we have come to know and love. This beautiful home is centrally located, just minutes to CAL, BART, downtown theaters, top restaurants, and College Avenue shops. This is a gem!
