In the same family for nearly 75 years, this elegant home and spacious garden have been lovingly maintained and tastefully upgraded. Beautiful original bay windows fill living room and entry with light! Lovely vintage details include stepped ceilings in living and dining rooms, period tile fireplace surround, and beautiful French doors. Refinished hardwood floors throughout. Dual pane windows in most of the home. Wonderfully practical split-level floor plan with one bedroom on main level; a great place for an office or guest room. Upper level bedrooms have views over the spacious fenced back garden with fruit trees and new gazebo. Lower level finished space was used as rec. room, adjoining an enhanced half bath. Garage is so useful for working or working out, or copious storage! Spacious lot includes front planting areas where prize dahlias were grown! Ideal North Berkeley location, near the fire station! Within just a few blocks are endless urban amenities: wonderful local restaurants, cafés & services. If instead of retail therapy you’d like to retreat to a natural setting, you have multiple options of parks nearby, or stay home and see what is growing in your own garden!
