Property description
In the true heart of North Berkeley, and close to everything, this charming 2 bedroom/1 bathroom (plus studio!) home exudes charm at every turn. A formal entry leads right into the sunny living room, framed by original period details. A formal dining with built-ins opens right into the kitchen, featuring a vintage stove and lovely original cabinets. The remodeled bathroom has a clawfoot tub and the two bedrooms face the beautifully landscaped backyard. An espalier apple tree, native irises, fescues and an olive tree are some of the plants in the expertly planned landscaping. To top it all off, a studio with a full bathroom can serve multiple purposes! Art studio, family room, writer's cottage perhaps? The studio is beautifully built with recycled and repurposed materials, such as an old basketball court floor and windows. Just two blocks from North Berkeley BART and a few minutes to Shattuck Ave and all of its amenities, not to mention the proximity to Downtown.
