Talk about sweet! 2816 Garber is a very neat house.....true Berkeley style with a bit of contemporary flair. The living and dining rooms are traditional with wonderful detailing and great light. A small addition in 2002 added square footage resulting in a true primary suite, an additional bedroom/family room and the super valuable bonus room. Both the primary suite and family room (3rd bedroom) open to a sunny deck and access to the garden. Located across from Emerson School on a quiet cul-de-sac near College Ave shops and restaurants and buses, this charming smaller home offers an enclosed garden with planting beds, a deck for afternoon reflection and a shed for storing all the necessities.
