Property description
Rare & Remarkable: Cottage Bungalow w/ Industrial Workshop & Modern Loft. Dare to dream of the myriad possibilities in this amazing Poet’s Corner property that offers 3 distinctly unique elements. Proudly perched at the front of this oversized lot sits a charming bungalow cottage. It oozes warmth & charm, from the brown shingles to the pitched roof to the front porch. In the back you enter a different world. An astonishing, alluring structure draws you into the backyard “biergarten.” A warm cedar building opens w/ a glass garage door, revealing an expansive workshop w/ high ceilings & rustic charm. Upstairs from the workshop is dazzling, modern farmhouse loft in-law. The epitome of cool, it has rough hewn beam ceilings, skylights, modern french doors & wide plank wood floors. The large yard features flourishing raised beds & dining space under twinkling lights. The brick building adds to the industrial homestead vibe of this amazing Berkeley compound.
