Property description

A Berkeley bungalow with a modern point of view. Taken to the studs and beautifully remodeled, this permitted renovation pairs thoughtful design with extensive upgrades throughout. Vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light create an airy feel, while warm, elevated finishes bring character and cohesion. The showstopping kitchen is the heart of the home, with an expansive 8' island, leathered Taj Mahal quartzite counters, 36" range and cabinet space galore. Beyond the design: new roof, siding, windows, electrical, plumbing and energy-efficient Quilt mini-splits for heating + cooling. An impressive HES = 10, BESO compliant. Ideally situated near Berkeley Bowl, Ashby BART and neighborhood favorites, with an 89 Walk Score and 97 Bike Score. A beautiful home with the upgrades to back it up.
