Urban loft living meets unexpected calm in the heart of South Berkeley. This spacious two-level loft pairs striking modern architecture and creative flexibility in an unusually peaceful setting. Soaring ceilings and expansive two-story windows flood the interior with natural light while framing views of the Berkeley hills and surrounding greenery. Designed with an open, airy sensibility, the main living space is defined by a sculptural spiral staircase, upper-level balcony, and impressive volume that creates a natural canvas for art, design, entertaining, and everyday living. A private patio connected to the kitchen offers a secluded spot for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or quiet relaxation. An enclosed bedroom provides welcome privacy, while the second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or creative studio. Recent improvements include brand-new stainless-steel kitchen appliances and an updated bathroom, complemented by in-unit laundry, generous closet space, extra storage locker, and dedicated parking in the secured garage. South Shattuck Lofts is an intimate, well-managed five-unit gated community in the heart of South Berkeley. Berkeley Bowl and Whole Foods are conveniently located nearby, while Ashby BART is just two blocks away. Rated a walker's and biker's paradise by WalkScore.com. Everyday essentials, neighborhood favorites, and transportation to UC Berkeley, downtown Oakland, and San Francisco are all within easy reach. Distinctive, light-filled, remarkably quiet, and anything but ordinary, this is a rare opportunity to make one of South Berkeley's unique loft spaces your own!
