Built in 1900, this charming Victorian-era residence with two-bedrooms and one-and-a-half-bathrooms combines historic character with modern comforts. Situated on a generous 5,400 square foot lot, the property offers both privacy and convenience, being just blocks away from BART and the vibrant Monterey/Hopkins shopping district. Tall ceilings, expansive windows, and original architectural details that harken back to the turn of the century. The spacious, updated country kitchen is perfect for culinary enthusiasts, while the primary bedroom opens to a deck offering stunning views of San Francisco Bay. The meticulously landscaped yard includes mature fruit trees, a lush grassy play area, and a secluded patio while the large basement offers a versatile space, perfect for a gym, art studio, or home office. The property’s large setback provides potential opportunities for expansion or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Enjoy proximity to local favorites like Cafenated Coffee, Cheeseboard, and North Berkeley Wine Imports. Weekend mornings at nearby Totland and leisurely walks through the friendly neighborhood, admiring gardens and fruit trees, will become part of your daily routine.
