Every detail of this beautifully updated two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home has been carefully considered bringing it to its full potential. The result? A space that feels effortlessly modern yet warmly inviting—blending style and comfort in perfect balance. The kitchen is the heart of the home—spacious, bright, and beautifully executed. Top-of-the-line appliances, sleek finishes, and a generous eat-in area make it a natural gathering spot, while an oversized passthrough window keeps the conversation flowing. The open dining and living areas offer both ease and elegance, with a bay window framing the rear yard. With bedrooms at opposite ends of the home, privacy is effortless. Both exude calm and refinement, while the skylit bath—elegantly refreshed—offers a crisp, modern aesthetic. Downstairs, a spacious bonus area invites endless possibilities, along with laundry area and powder room. Outside, the backyard is designed for California living, with a brick patio, lush lawn, and space for gardening, play, and entertaining. Ideally located just a few blocks from Hilltop Elementary, near charming “downtown” Kensington, the best of Berkeley, and miles of trails in Tilden Park, this home is a rare opportunity—completely reimagined for your new chapter.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
