About this House

What's unique:Apple and lemon treesTranquil rose gardenBright and sunnyRedwood deckCustom eat-in kitchenCherry wood cabinets
A beautiful two-story 3-bedroom/2 bathroom quiet sunlit private sanctuary home located in the heart of North Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood. An additional glass-enclosed sun room overlooks the redwood deck with a tranquil rose garden with apple and lemon trees. Custom eat-in kitchen with cherry wood cabinets.

The house is bright and sunny with lots of windows and natural light. Most of the floors are original hardwood from 1907, and we just refinished all the floors on the first floor. The whole inside of the house has just been painted, and the roof was replaced last year.

There are lots of large closets in the house, a walk in closet in the largest bedroom, a large entry hall closet and a linen cupboard in the upstairs hall.

Amazing location - a short walk to the UC Berkeley Campus & Downtown Berkeley/North Berkeley BART (less than 2 minutes by bike or car).

    "I have been living at the cross of Virginia and Spruce for nearly 5 years and loved it. It's quiet, close to the university. 10 min walk from Downtown Berkeley BART, 3 movies theaters, Groceries (Safeway, Walgreens) and a lot of restaurants. Berkeley gourmet ghetto is 4 blocks away. In addition to that, you're very close to Berkeley Hills and Tilden park. Top neighborhood."
