On a sunny corner lot in the heart of West Berkeley this beautifully updated bungalow has charm to spare. This is a house where lazy mornings & lively dinners are equally at home. Welcoming front porch and sweet entryway lead to generous living & dining rooms with classic recessed tray ceilings and an open airy feel. Stylish updated kitchen with plenty of counter & cabinet space. Induction range. Polished stone-topped island perfect for your bar stools and long conversations. Three sunlit bedrooms, two full baths. Big windows let the sunshine and fresh breezes in throughout the day and across the seasons, from golden afternoons to gorgeous sunsets. This is a home that shines year-round. The gardens are a private retreat full of native and edible plants irrigated by a low-maintenance greywater system. A darling detached cottage with a 3rd full bath is ideal for guests, home office, or studio. Detached garage adds even more space for a workshop, storage, bikes, or even your car. So close to so many Berkeley treasures: Berkeley Bowl, Vik’s Chaat, La Marcha, Year of the Snake Bakery, Strawberry Creek, the Marina, 4th St. shops, and so much more. Super convenient for bike, bus, rail, or car commutes. This is a home of character, community, and convenience. This is a home for you.
All original construction home in West Berkeley. This house appears to be in need of a total rehab inside and out but would really sparkle in the end. Classic style Craftsman bungalow with all the original details. Purchase this property with all...
cash or a renovation loan and this house could turn into a smart purchase in Berkeley where houses are at a great value in updated condition. Bring your tools and imagination and make it a great home!
