Located in an accessible neighborhood with nearby shops, restaurants, and a growing base of new jobs from Bayer and Kaiser, this historic craftsman in southwest Berkeley features a meticulously tended garden plot, outdoor shower, hot tub, and yoga area. Previously a 3 bedroom, 1 bath layout, the home has been transformed over the years to a 2 bed, 2.5 bath configuration. The house has maintained its storied history with original wood floors, beautiful built-in cabinets, wood cross-beam and coved ceilings, expansive pocket doors, and a large, walk-in pantry with an extra sink. Run as a bed-and-breakfast for a number of years, each room and adjoining bath has a whimsical and charming style that demonstrates the owner's deep love of the property and personal touch. Come see this charming cottage home and discover a piece of Berkeley history.
