Property Description

Located just blocks to Berkeley Bowl West and the many cafes, restaurants and shopping on San Pablo and Sacramento avenues in hip, vibrant South Berkeley, this 1923 Craftsman cottage blends vintage charm with turnkey perfection. While many original features offer period details, recent owner updates and remodels bring this home firmly into the 21st century. This sun-filled, split-level home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open kitchen/dining room, a finished garden level bonus space with laundry and storage, an enclosed front porch, and a detached garage converted into a home office/studio. Details include hardwood floors, picture rails, wainscot panelling, and a handsome original brick fireplace. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is open to a dining room with plenty of built-in bookcases and kitchen storage, and a small room off the kitchen can easily be turned into a walk-in kitchen pantry. The bedrooms have stylish light fixtures + closets with custom shelving. Bright, natural sunlight and dual-pane windows throughout the home. Professional landscaping and hardscaping + a new(er) 6-ft privacy fence surrounding the property. The large, deep lot is ideal for an income-producing ADU (5,120 SF). Easy access to I-580/I-80 freeways, ACTransit, Ashby BART.
