About this single-family home
Garden-rich and lovingly maintained — this is the quintessential Berkeley home, thoughtfully improved over the decades and perfectly appointed. Approach through a lush front yard and enter a generous foyer. The spacious living room with bay windows and Craftsman dining room with wood ceiling detail, exude beloved Berkeley style. The huge, accommodating kitchen has been recently updated and is ideal for entertaining. Off the kitchen is a sunny office space (listed as a fourth bedroom on public records) that overlooks the garden. Flow effortlessly through the French doors to the charming backyard full of native plants and space to eat. There is an ample bedroom and full bath on this ground floor as well. Upstairs are two more large bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings and immeasurable charm. The spacious bathroom on this second floor offers a double vanity and lovely updates. The location is ideal, just around the corner from the beloved San Pablo Park for play, exercise or running the dog. Only 8 blocks to Berkeley Bowl West, even closer to the bus lines, and a mile from Ashby BART.
