A Carleton Classic. Through a rose-draped arbor sits a bungalow of real architectural character. Tapered pilasters flank a picture window and meet at the roofline peak; a broad brick porch with fine Craftsman details welcomes you in. Inside, the foyer opens to a light-filled living room anchored by a fireplace with a raw-edge granite surround that reads like art. The gracious formal dining room flows into a cook's kitchen with a high-end Fisher & Paykel range and room for a friend to pull up a stool. Two bedrooms and a generously-sized full bath (with a spot perhaps for another partial bath) make up the private wing, with an enclosed porch turned home office opening to a deck and the back garden. The oversized lot is presided over by a majestic sequoia, with Japanese maple, magnolia, roses, and a striking protea among the mature plantings. Large detached garage (a great workshop, or a spot for a future ADU?). Updated electric, solar, copper plumbing, dual-pane windows, and a newer roof. Berkeley Bowl, great coffee, and West Berkeley's thriving food and arts scene are all nearby, with a bike boulevard at the corner, San Pablo Park blocks away, and BART just over a mile. Home energy score 7.
