Property Description

This charming 1925 brown-shingle bungalow in the heart of Berkeley exudes timeless appeal with its high ceilings, graceful archways, and rich wood accents. The open floor plan creates a seamless flow, making the space feel larger than its footprint suggests. A cozy alcove window seat provides the perfect nook for reading or enjoying a beverage in natural light. Both bedrooms feature upgraded Elfa organization systems for efficient storage. The primary bedroom opens through French doors to a large, sunlit back deck with access to the expansive yard, ideal for morning coffee, relaxing, or hosting gatherings. Recent updates include a fully owned 4.8kW solar array, a new HVAC heat pump system with updated ductwork for year-round comfort, and a newly replaced back fence for privacy. The kitchen boasts new flooring, while the exterior shingles have been freshly restained, preserving the home's classic aesthetic. A detached guest cottage with a new Summit kitchenette and full bath adds versatility for guests, a home office, or a gym. Located in Poet's Corner, the home is close to cafes, parks, farmers' markets, and transit options. This property combines classic charm, modern upgrades, and an ideal location, offering a perfect entry into Berkeley's vibrant real estate market.
