Tucked in a quiet residential section of North Berkeley, this 1919 stucco-exterior bungalow features a classic floor plan with updated hardwood flooring, kitchen, and inviting living spaces…indoors & out. The kitchen (with a dishwasher, gas range, and stone countertops) leads to a dedicated laundry room. A versatile "bonus room" with skylight offers a beautiful mini-retreat (whether for a home office, creative studio, or guest room) opening via sliding glass door onto the private, sunny backyard. Situated on a level, regular lot with off-street parking, the property is a rare find in this highly walkable neighborhood. The front and rear yards offer a perfect starting point for your garden/landscaping vision, boasting a mature Japanese maple in front, and a sun-filled back yard with a producing avocado and lime trees, and other fruit trees. Nestled in one of Berkeley's most coveted quiet residential pockets, this location is a true "Walker's Paradise" (Walk/Bike Score: 93), while also being literally in the middle of it all--centrally located between Westbrae, North Berkeley, Downtown, San Pablo Corridor, 4th Street--accessible via the extensive Ohlone greenway, and a mere 3 blocks from the North Berkeley BART station. BESO score 6. Net proceeds from this sale will directly benefit the Berkeley grassroots non-profit 'Consider the Homeless!', honoring the legacy of its founder who bequeathed the home to continue their vital volunteer work.
