About This Property

Seldom-seen value for a 3-Bedroom 2-Bath in the heart of Berkeley! Its split-level layout is great for family, roommate or guest-friendly living. Nice-sized open yet still formal living and dining rooms feature large banks of windows welcoming in natural light, ensuring lively gatherings. The newly updated kitchen has plenty of cabinets and more room for food prep or a bistro set, as well as easy access to outdoor fun. The side and rear yards practically beg for adornment – imagine a cozy, intimate courtyard leading back to a playful, partially-shaded backyard that's ready for anything. This home is definitely waiting to reward your creative appreciation for indoor-outdoor living! Perhaps most precious, its location – only a mile from Ashby BART – is ideal for both UC Students/Faculty and urban professionals alike. The Transbay J stops both ways just up at the corner. Jaunts of less than a mile take you to the Berkeley Bowl and many shops, taverns & restaurants. Here's your chance!
