About this House

Tucked on a quiet street in sunny South Berkeley sits a home that unites classic bungalow architecture with modern chic finishes in an elegant marriage of complementary styles. Mature landscaping in the front yard both secludes and accentuates the entry, creating a feeling of peace and sanctuary. Off-street parking is ample in the long driveway, which is partially gated for additional privacy.

Inside, this home is delightfully surprising in its open living space balanced with private retreats; vintage details in harmony with clean modern lines; serenity at home in a vibrant urban location. In fact, 1644 Ward is all about balances. It draws you in. The classic foyer offers a generous coat & umbrella closet, the bright living room has a gorgeous fireplace. French doors lead into the open dining and kitchen area, inviting many gatherings of family and friends. Surfaces are clean, minimalist and modern. The designer paint palette is light and new. There is abundant storage. The space feels both spacious and intimate.

It is rather rare to find a full 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in this desirable area. Two of the bedrooms in this classic bungalow layout adjoin the common spaces with an updated bathroom between. The third bedroom is a master suite set in the back of the house offering unusual privacy and quiet. All three bedrooms have new richly colored bamboo floors.

Continue outside through the separate laundry room (with newer appliances and folding area) to discover an additional and separate bonus space via French doors. A room of one’s own with a myriad of uses, it adjoins the secluded patio oasis. Like the frontyard ‘scaping, the backyard plantings are drought tolerant and low maintenance.

Location? 1644 Ward offers amazing, close proximity to both Berkeley Bowls and two local farmers’ markets, a plethora of art and theatre venues, great restaurants, a variety of services and gyms, an express bus line to SF, Ashby BART, freeways (without the noise), a 72 walkscore and 100 bikescore.

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
