Experience the best of Berkeley and Oakland in this beautifully renovated 3BD/2BA Craftsman, a calm and quiet refuge in the heart of the city. Enter the 1309 SQFT home’s classic foyer with an original leaded glass window, built-in bookshelves and cabinets. The home is rich with architectural details including a coffered ceiling, period fireplace, wainscotting, bay windows, and hardwood floors. The upgraded eat-in kitchen offers butcher block and quartz counters, stylish shelving, cabinets and tiling, plus access to the enchanting rear garden for indoor/outdoor living. Two bright bedrooms share two updated baths, one with a clawfoot tub and one offering a timeless contemporary look with standing shower. The living room features custom dual closets to make the space a primary bedroom while utilizing the formal dining room as a sitting/dining room — or keep the formal living room as such, enjoy the closets as storage, and configure the home as a 2-bedroom. Through the laundry/mudroom, enter the beautiful secluded backyard, featuring stonework, mature landscaping, and new fencing. A basement spans the length of the house – phenomenal expansion potential! The home offers gated off-street parking. Nearby BART, Berkeley Bowl, Whole Foods, & UC Berkeley. Sewer and sidewalk compliant!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
