Built in 1898, this classic Berkeley brown shingle has the classic details you expect. They include coved ceilings, picture rail, match stick hardwood floors, a pantry in the kitchen and a fireplace in the dining room. The kitchen has been tastefully updated to include a wood block topped island which is the focus of activity. The lower bath has been refinished with a subway tile surround. The most impressive feature has got to be the largest California live oak you have ever seen! It is so large it almost seems like a motion picture prop. A modern amenity is the closeness to the downtown and Ashby BART stations.
