Description

Welcome to 2705 Mathews Street – a Berkeley classic where charm meets modern comfort. Step inside to discover original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a decorative fireplace that set the stage for this cozy retreat. The home has seen numerous updates, including air conditioning to keep you cool all summer long. The two inviting bedrooms offer ample closet space and tranquil views – perfect for unwinding after a long day. The kitchen, with its custom tile counters and stainless steel appliances, flows effortlessly to the deck and backyard, creating an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor living. Out back, a charming casita sits tucked beneath the shade of a towering redwood. Inside, plaster walls and a flagstone floor create a serene, sun-dappled escape – perfect for an art studio, home office, or personal hideaway. The partially converted garage provides even more space for a home gym, workspace, or a cozy spot to relax and recharge. Situated in a neighborhood known for its tree-lined streets, blooming gardens, and laid-back BBQs with the neighbors, this home is a true Berkeley gem. Take a leisurely stroll to San Pablo Park, Berkeley Bowl, Hidden Cafe, or Third Culture Bakery for a tasty treat, with easy access to 80 and BART. Updated, welcoming, and full of character!

    "west berkeley is an appealing neighborhood -- largely walkable, with character, lots of amenities nearby. biggest knocks are the cool breeze off the bay, bart isn't nearby and you can't easily access everyday items like milk or toilet paper."

    "The walks one can take through the Berkeley Hills keeps one focused on beauty and inner peace because you are surrounded by the natural world of redwoods, live oak trees hundreds of years old, soaring birds, extraordinary light at sunset, and did I say beauty. Truly amazing weather as well. Best place in country to live well if you can afford it"

    "This is a diverse neighborhood, w/families, singles, and older people. It is close to public transportation, a large park (dogs, tennis, ball games, rec center) and an excellent full-service market. Public school 3 blocks away. Lots of community involvement, block parties, etc. Close to a main thoroughfare yet actual street traffic is light."
