Located in one of Berkeley's most sought after neighborhoods, is this meticulously maintained and updated 1937 custom home with the preserved charm of the period but with modernized kitchen and bath features. Large master bedroom with walk in closet. Quartz countertops, precision washerless faucet, new dishwasher, gas stove and large refrigerator and a garden window are in the kitchen for herbs, flowers or your favorite plant. The bath features granite shower and glass block walls to let in natural light along with Toto fixtures and washerless faucet. The house has hardwood floors throughout the living area. There is a large office with a separate entrance and laundry area with a beautiful Italian porcelain tile floor. There is a private deck off the living room and kitchen with black slate floors and black iron fencing. The deck transitions to a large fenced in backyard perfect for your dog or for any type of gardening.
From the home's location at the top of the Berkeley Hills there are drop dead views from the kitchen, living room and master bedroom that span from Mount Tamalpais in the north to the San Mateo bridge in the south and everything in between. The Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge and San Francisco are all in glorious view with killer sunsets. Truly an inspirational living location. You are only two blocks from Tilden park and the vast open space of the East Bay Regional Park District for hiking, dog walking, nature watching and bike riding.
Although seemingly far away from the hustle bustle of the city you are conveniently located minutes away from all the action. Berkeley's restaurants, shopping and entertainment are minutes away. Public transportation is available.
The house is sunny and private with driveway and street parking that is unregulated. If you drive an electric vehicle there is a 50 amp hookup waiting for you.
Anxious about earthquakes? No worries because the foundation has been retrofitted to give it the best resistance possible to earthquakes short of rebuilding the entire house.
The house includes gardening service and green waste, trash and recycle service paid for by owner.
Whether or not you rent this house it is well worth your time to see it as an option!
