Description

51 Bret Harte Road radiates style and charm in a gorgeous garden setting! Set behind a fence and surrounding gardens, the 1930's Cape Cod style is distinctive and inviting. Enter through the gate and front door into a world with beautiful outlooks and wonderful light. The updated kitchen is a joy, with every amenity a cook could want. In addition to three bedrooms and one and one half baths, there is an open storage/meditation space as well as a larger bonus room with a myriad of uses. A full basement offers ample storage. The garden is a treasure...planting boxes, flowering trees, an outdoor dining area, play areas and lots of room to roam. One car garage. Just a short distance to the Euclid Avenue bus line which takes you to UCB, downtown Berkeley and BART. Minutes to the Gourmet Ghetto, Solano Ave, Tilden Park and the Transbay bus to SF.

    "It's a very safe neighborhood. Cragmont park and remillard park are great for kids. It's beautiful and hilly so you need to be fit to get around. "

    "Easy, I drive to West Berkeley and it’s typically about 12 minutes to get to work. Driving in the Berkeley hills always calls for caution as there are people and children out on the streets where there aren’t always proper sidewalks. "

    "All the wildlife are present - squirrels, cats, deer, turkey to make your dog want to run and chase them away. Rare sightings of coyote in the neighborhood and mid night sounds of wild cats hunting."

    "Hills, architecture, parks every where, great city views on walks, a sense of community (which can make people too wary), greenery, lots of dog walking at any hour, nature is so close which is fantastic for bird watching (Cal Falcons, Commodores, etc), deer frolicking all the time, turkey can be seen on their strolls, every house a drive way but most are too small for cars to fit.

    "Haven't lived in this neighborhood in years, but often go back for friends and family and am always pleased to visit the area. It's green; the architecture is varied by virtue of the topography; stunning views of the City abound and are perfectly centered as this neighborhood is almost due east of the Golden Gate Bridge, which also plays a big role in the neighborhood's wonderful microclimate."
