Tucked away on a peaceful tree lined street sits the sweetest 1923 cottage. Quintessential Berkeley, with it's vintage charm and bright, sun filled rooms, this 2 bed 1 ba detached condo enjoys it's own garden retreat and lives like a single family home. Lovingly maintained and upgraded over time, from the bathroom, laundry and tankless water heater, to the shear walls, anchor bolts and dual pane windows, always with attention to quality and longevity. Interior features include gleaming original hardwood floors, crown molding, and custom designed built-in cabinetry in the dining nook and front bedroom. The location is equally lovely! Just a short distance to Ashby BART, Berkeley Bowl and Whole Foods, as well as numerous local eateries and amenities. This is truly a home sweet home...
