Convenient location and contemporary refinements combine in this lavish Victorian era home, standing tall in Berkeley. This 3-bedroom 1-bath bright and spacious beauty boasts a light-flooded and open floor plan that welcomes you in, while the original details, dual pane windows, fireplace, wood floors and modern upgrades create a perfect sense of home and elegance throughout. The sunny kitchen, featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, expands into the dining area, ideal for entertaining. The large full bathroom has been reimagined into a beautiful spa-inspired luxury escape. Two of the graciously sized bedrooms comprise the entirety of the second floor in a thoughtful separation of space. There is a large laundry room, as well as a full basement, presently used as storage and a workshop area, yet ready for a creative transformation! The enormous backyard is a personal, private park with plenty of room to garden, rest and play. Meanwhile this fabulous location is only a short distance to the bustling 4th Street shops and restaurants, while other local favorites such as the Franklin Bros. Market, Aquatic Park, and Strawberry Creek Park are just blocks away. Commuting is a breeze, minutes to public transportation and I-80. Bike Score 99! Walk Score 94!
