Description
Nestled on one of Berkeley’s most coveted tree-lined blocks, this classic bungalow sits conveniently between the Gourmet District, Monterey Market, and the shops of Solano Avenue. Inside, hardwood floors, a generous living room with a fireplace, and a separate formal dining room showcase the home’s original charm. The recently remodeled kitchen has new counters, floors, and appliances added in 2024-2025. Stylish and generously sized, it offers the ideal counter and cabinet space for cooking and entertaining. With two bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths, there’s room to adapt the layout to your needs. A large basement doubles as a workshop and laundry area, providing additional storage and creative possibilities.* Outside, the deep, freshly landscaped lot suggests space for expansion or a personal garden retreat.** A long driveway provides ample parking and access. At the rear of the property is a large walk-in shed. Recent updates include a new roof (2022), a central furnace (2021), and an upgraded electrical panel (2023). This location places you within easy reach of local markets, cafés, parks, gyms, the North Berkeley Library, and a vibrant community. First time on the market in over sixty years, this is a rare opportunity to start your next chapter at 1234 Josephine.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Principal has been very receptive and always available to discuss our concerns. I visit the school at different times of the day throughout the year and I see his presence in the lunch room on the yard and in the school as a strong and positive influence on the school , it's students and the teaching staff. The PTA is involved and the school supports may different initiatives on behalf of BAM and the community.Parent Review7y ago - Berkeley High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school has great teachers and traditional education for the most part . My issue with the social aspect is that they don't have a dress code. I understand we are in Berkeley CA and there are nudists but that's different. They allow their girls to wear very tight daisy dukes that show not only the gluteos maximus but the genitals. This has been an ongoing going issue for almost ten years and I really don't understand why. I feel the students should be educated on why it's a bad idea. The students have off campus lunch and harass passer bys and spread what ever infections they have with those genitals shorts. Aside from this real big issue there are some ok teachers there that are trustworthyParent Review7mo ago - Ruth Acty Elementary

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageKing had been great so far. My kid has been enjoying their time there. The teachers are so responsive and quick when you have a concern. We were concerned with some things with my child and we told one of their teachers about it. The teacher and other staff members were so helpful and so responsive to our kid’s needs that it help them gain so much confidence at school during the year. They made getting my child support so easy and not stressful at all. King is just a great school with amazing teachers.Parent Review9mo ago - Sylvia Mendez Elementary
