Description

Bright 2-bedroom, 2-bath Bungalow with detached studio in Central Berkeley! Nestled on a spacious lot and centered around a majestic pine tree, this Craftsman-style charmer comes alive with character and a unique "cottage in the woods" feel. A long driveway allows you to park several cars both inside and outside the fully fenced front yard, while a whimsical park-like setting provides multiple outdoor sitting and gathering areas as well as an impressive two-story treehouse and fun spots that inspire imagination. Offering a living arrangement that is perfect for multi-generational living, a possible future rental setup or even a separate home office studio, the property unites a main house and a detached studio with a full bath and kitchen area (just add the stove!).

An efficiently laid out floorplan welcomes you right inside with an open living, dining
and kitchen concept that facilitate easy living and entertaining. The kitchen and baths have been lovingly updated to reflect the home's original character. The kitchen makes the most of its space, thanks to a sizable peninsula island with seating, Quartz countertops, penny tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances, including a professional Fisher Paykel gas range. Flow to the rear of the house, where the owner's suite boasts a nice walk-in closet, full bath and double French doors spilling out onto the covered deck -- the perfect place to take your morning tea or coffee. The sunny backyard feels like a private oasis with mature landscaping made up of fruit trees and lush gardens, a hot tub, outdoor shower, firepit, lounge area and a deck for al fresco dining. New designer paint, light fixtures, hardware and plumbing fixtures throughout the main house and studio only further elevate the offering. A central Berkley location means you can walk to downtown and BART. The property is also easily accessible to North Oakland or I-80 for North Bay commuters. Must-see!

    "This is a fairly quiet street, with some foot and car traffic since it connects to Sacramento Street and University Ave. But it's much more neighborhood-oriented than it seems, and close to daycare/dog park/cafe/bakery."

    "I live almost on the corner of Bancroft and Roosevelt, and have lived in central Berkeley for two straight decades now. It's a great neighborhood - I see there's supposed to be a bit higher crime not far from here, but in all these years I've seen only one crime - a mugging wherein a Berkeley high graduate about 19 years old, tried to steal an earbud for a cell phone from a high school girl. He didn't get the earbud and the police caught him and a couple others with the minimum of fuss. That's it, although I've heard of a couple other small crimes more toward university. To live here is to feel very safe, and really be in walking distance to UC, and all kinds of shops, restaurants and so on. The little tot parks are real nice, especially the one on Roosevelt, and walking is very enjoyable due to all the lovely landscaping done in this area around private homes. Neighbors are great. I love living here except for having to get a parking permit - which is cheap and easy to do really."
