Berkeley
This is not your basic bungalow!
This charming 1900s cottage blends elevated design, some extra room to spread out, and many upgraded systems for effortless living. High-end finishes include hand-scraped acacia wood floors that continue throughout, exquisite soapstone countertops, and a deep copper soaking tub.
The heart of the home is a gorgeous open kitchen featuring custom maple cabinetry, a dedicated pantry, and a breakfast bar. It’s perfect for both hosting and everyday meals, and its sprawling workspace and new JennAir downdraft range make it a chef’s dream. Picture yourself cooking up a special creation, grabbing some lemons or fresh herbs from the garden, and popping just a few blocks over to Berkeley Bowl West (the best grocery store around!) to pick up any last ingredients.
The home’s single-level layout features a light-filled primary bedroom that opens to a private, sun-drenched backyard—perfect for morning coffee, gardening, or simply unwinding. A flexible third bedroom offers options—use it as a guest space, integrate it into the main living area, or create a dedicated home office. A detached office/art studio provides a serene, separate space for creative work or remote productivity. Owned solar lets you feel good about your footprint, and the many upgraded systems leave you time to kick back and enjoy life.
Set on a friendly cul-de-sac, just around the corner from San Pablo Park, the location is the perfect jumping off point for exploring West Berkeley’s thriving food and arts scene, including Berkeley Kitchens (home to Third Culture, Standard Fare, and La Noisette), Cellarmaker Brewing Co., Kala Art Institute, The Sawtooth Building, and more!
