There is a greywater system from the washer to provide extra water to the trees and shrubs, a Nest Thermostat to communicate with the heater, radiant heat in the bathroom floor nooks and crannies, built-in cupboard in the dining room and a lovely fireplace. Located on a bicycle boulevard, it is easy to get to BART, Berkeley Bowl, the Lorin Farmer's Market, the tool lending library, parks and more.
