2219 9th St, Berkeley, CA 94710

Secluded and private retreat in the heart of a vibrant community. Turn of the century vintage details include wainscoting with plate rails, pocket doors to living and dining rooms, corner fireplace, coved ceilings, and rustic fir floors. With the old world charm, modern amenities are appreciated, including a new roof, forced air heating, new water heater, double paned windows, newer plumbing, and upgraded electrical. The house has two delightful bedrooms, an extra bonus room, and a studio in the backyard. Tasteful bathroom remodel features hexagon marble tile floor, clawfoot tub, and subway tile wainscoting. Spacious kitchen with granite counters and custom cabinetry overlooks the gorgeous, sunny backyard and leads straight out to a large deck, ideal for dining al fresco. Backyard is ideal for the urban farmer, with mature fruit trees (olive, fig, avocado, apple, and plum), raised veggie beds (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries), an herb garden, and trellis draped with grape vines on both sides. Peaceful pond with koi fish and mature bamboo and trees provide the perfect oasis from the everyday busyness of life. A newly built detached studio has potential galore. When you aren't delighting in your home and garden, you are just steps away from the Berkeley Bowl and the 4th Street shopping district where cafes and eateries await you, plus transportation to San Francisco and UC Berkeley are just blocks away.
