Property description
Here’s your opportunity to plant roots and create a sweet home life in Berkeley. This 2-bed, 1-bath bungalow is 5 blocks from Berkeley Bowl and 6 blocks to the Ashby BART Station. The floors have been refinished and the walls painted in anticipation of your arrival. Your vision for expansion and personalization could be realized here, as you upgrade the lower level of the property and add your own touches. Existing upgrades include: refinished floors, flooring in kitchen and bath redone, driveway repaved, fresh paint inside and out, and a gas stove in the eat-in kitchen. Out back, there’s a wonderful yard with Japanese style touches, including a pond, fountain, Japanese maple, plums, camelias, and lemons. The South Berkeley location gives easy access to both Berkeley Bowl stores, Ashby BART station, Ironworks climbing gym, San Pablo Park and the Lorin shopping district. Downtown Oakland and San Francisco are surprisingly close, with plenty of transportation options
