Artistically remodeled Berkeley bungalow features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an office & a family room w/French doors to a lovely, well-tended backyard garden. Built in 1926, as an iconic 2-bedroom, 1-bath Craftsman-style bungalow, the home retains the many period details including a covered front entrance porch, bay window with a window seat, hardwood floors, arches dividing the main rooms, and an artistically tiled fireplace with a built-in secretary desk & wood cabinets. in 2006, the home was beautifully expanded and remodeled in the Craftsman style to add a primary bedroom suite, family rm, office and remodeled kitchen, skylights, dual-pane windows, and solar panels.Close to many of Berkeley’s favorite destinations (Berkeley Bowl West, 900 Grayson, Vital Vitals, East Bay Nursery, San Pablo Park and so much more). EZ access to transportation (Ashby BART, bus, freeway). Very friendly, walk and bike-able neighborhood. A well loved home, ready for a new owner to enjoy!
