This enchanting 2BD/1BA 925 sq ft home in the heart of Central Berkeley features hardwood floors, hand-crafted oak kitchen cabinets, sun washed rooms, and an enclosed mudroom. Modern conveniences such as the fully renovated kitchen, updated bath, and double-pane windows are tastefully intertwined with beautifully antiquated period glass doorknobs and antique light fixtures exhibiting intricate carved detailing. The primary bedroom contains a walk-in closet with a separate entrance from the hallway and access to additional attic storage. On the rear porch an outdoor closet reveals a stackable front loader GE washer/dryer. Solar panels on the roof can be used to offset electricity costs. The rear yard is semi-enclosed with a fence for privacy and enjoys several rose bushes, a Meyer lemon, peach, and plumb trees, and a single-car garage. A rock wall planter area and afternoon sun provide the perfect space for an organic herb garden while the front yard also offers a suitable spot for a small vegetable garden or colorful flowers alongside the existing orange tree. Several flowering lavender bushes greet you with a fragrant aroma as you enter the front gate.

A plethora of delightful shops and delectable restaurants on Solano Avenue and North Shattuck (known as a gourmand’s haven) are a short drive away. The home is in close proximity to North Berkeley BART and minutes from major highways, making for an easy commute. Top-rated Berkeley schools are located nearby.
