Walk to the new Equinox gym, Berkeley Bowl, Ashby Bart, farmers markets, restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques. City bus stop half a block away. Master bedroom has enormous windows that open onto an expansive back yard with mature asian pear, fig, blueberry and persimmon trees. Unique black slate patio and hand-built benches invite outdoor living, and a huge space awaits the gardener of the family.
