About this House

Tucked behind landscaping and a wraparound fence, 2930 California Street gives privacy and polish. Originally built early in the last century, the charm of this home was kept intact when enhanced with all the modern updates and conveniences you could want. Enter through the covered, glassed-in front porch to the open-style flow of the living and dining rooms (each with their own coved ceiling). The updated chef's kitchen has a sunny garden window box for herbs, a large island and multiple prep areas. Your friends will love hanging out at the bar seats, while you take care of business on the gas stove. The main level provides two bedrooms and a classic tiled bath with clawfoot tub and shower. Upstairs is a primary bedroom retreat that spreads across the length of the home. Down on the lower level is a family/media room, two more bedrooms, a full bath with tiled tub, massive laundry/workroom, and more storage. The separation of space in this home is exceptional and works so well. Only 5 blocks from the Ashby BART station, and 6 from the Berkeley Bowl, you're also near central and downtown Berkeley with plenty of nightlife options. The location is convenient to anywhere in the East and West Bay!

    "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 "
