A quintessentially Berkeley Craftsman, 2735 Ellsworth Street, Berkeley, with its bright blue solid oak door—is a welcoming home in the very heart of Berkeley. You’ll appreciate the period-specific original oak and redwood accented hardwood floors, and the soft curves of arches leading to the home’s interiors. In the living room, an incredible Klinker brick fireplace offers a commanding focal point. Large, horizontally-oriented picture windows provide plenty of natural light and a modicum of privacy from ancient coastal pine at the front of the house. There is a formal dining room with built ins, refreshed bath and kitchen, and two delightful bedrooms. There is an amazing yard, and the property is beautifully located in a great neighborhood!
