Set back from the street, this split-level home is filled with charm, warmth, and natural light. The owners have made thoughtful improvements, most notably the show-stopping kitchen designed by culinary professionals with design expertise. Its flow, functionality, and finishes are perfectly in sync.  With handmade Cle tile, a 36" Monogram range, Miele refrigerator, and oversized windows, every detail is crafted for both everyday living and memorable gatherings.  The home connects seamlessly to the backyard, where mature fruit trees, garden beds, multiple seating areas, and a storybook pergola with a dining table create the ideal setting for gatherings.  Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bath, while the lower level offers a spacious bonus room, second bath, and direct garden access.  The location is unmatched. Monterey Market and Gioia Pizza are just two blocks away. North Berkeley BART is nearby, and the home sits between King Park & Pool and Cedar Rose Park, beloved community hubs for play, picnics, and dog walks.  Homes in this coveted pocket of North Berkeley are rare. Don't miss your chance to make this one yours.
