Property description
Adorable and updated, this light-filled cottage is in a perfect North Berkeley location. An all-level, 3BR/1BA charmer, surrounded by private lush gardens; sited on a lovely and welcoming street in a coveted neighborhood. Oak hardwood floors throughout, newly updated kitchen and lovely outlooks from all the windows add a contemporary and peaceful vibe. Enjoy the large deck under the lighted maple canopy, with a level lawn and enclosed driveway for play and entertaining. A detached two-car garage offers lots of storage and reimagining potential. With so much nearby -- BART, parks, Monterey Market, ACME bread, countless restaurants and shops on Solano and Shattuck Avenues -- no wonder this is such a popular place to live. Move right in!
