A peaceful sanctuary in a vibrant central location! The first floor’s glistening oak hardwood floors span the living spaces, creating a warm atmosphere. Host dinners in the dining room, with original craftsman built-in cabinets. The large living room is a welcoming space as is the breezy and shaded front porch. Cook in the updated kitchen with modern amenities, featuring stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and shaker cabinets that provide functionality and style. A perfect eat-in nook for casual dining or your morning coffee while basking in warm sun filling the space. The 3rd floor top room feels like a tower in a castle, with windows along three sides and views of the surrounding area. The quiet secondary bedrooms are a perfect sanctuary with windows overlooking the garden. In the main bathroom, a clawfoot tub makes soaking a pleasure. A detached structure* in the yard, with a kitchenette and bath is a bonus space, ideal for a office,or studio. The large landscaped yard is a canvas for outdoor adventures, offering blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, orange and persimmon. A 91 walk score with BART 5 blocks and Berkeley’s best grocery just 3 blocks away. Convenient off street parking. Sqft & bd/ba count differs. *Detached structure buyer to verify.

    "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 "
