New Listing: Beautifully Renovated Bungalow

Welcome to this wonderful Craftsman Bungalow in a very desirable Central Berkeley location! The owner has just completed an extensive Remodel. Many of the systems were upgraded, or replaced (see "Owner's List of Improvements.") The gracious front porch has been dubbed the "Party Porch" by the folks in my office. Everyone wants a nice shady porch to watch the world go by, enjoy a nice drink after work or read the paper on Sunday. Inside you have a traditional bungalow floorplan and all the other great detailing, including nice art deco styled moldings which are very unique, a fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors.
The brand new kitchen is really the heart of the home. It offers so much, including a lot of room and work space. It's perfect for entertaining – either straight out to the cozy backyard or into the formal dining room for a more upscale event. The kitchen has beautiful styling and looks like a photo shoot from a magazine. There is tons of storage and counter top work space, too!
The casual dining table is the perfect place for a simple meal or extra overflow work space. Of course, there is a laundry room, small office space and 2 nice sized bedrooms. The final topper is the brand new bathroom. It's well appointed and a real treat to see period pieces intact, while updated for today. The backyard and Garage-mahal make this home special. There is a great patio for hanging-out and room to have raised beds for flowers or veggies with southeastern exposure. This will be one of your favorite spots to enjoy! The Garage-mahal is so cool. I need one of these and I'm sure you'll have many uses – Art Studio, Office, Workshop, Media Cave, Store your Treasures here, Perfect for the next startup business, or ?? You will find a lot offered in this freshly renovated home - it's ready for you, and in move-in condition! The seller has a Sewer Certificate, Clear Termite and RECO to top it all off.
This home is located in South Central Berkeley – Close to everything without all the hassles. There is a multitude of shopping and dining options close by – Sea Salt, Homemade Café, Whole Foods and Berkeley Bowl. Commuting is easy because you are just a bike ride from most of Berkeley including Downtown and the UC Campus. All of Emeryville and Downtown Oakland are also nearby.

New Listing: Almost A Totally Rebuilt Home 2-Story Craftsman Bungalow

Welcome to this completely redone Craftsman home in the Heart of Rockridge. How redone? Well here is a partial list: Partly new foundation, electrical, plumbing, heating, paint in & out, lighting, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, landscaping and a new 1+ car "garage-mahal". And, as an added bonus this was done with permits and inspections thru the City of Oakland. There is a termite clearance and Sewer Certification. It doesn't get any better than this. On top of it, this work was done with the trained eye of a real team of true Craftspeople. All the work, both inside and out, is in-keeping with the heritage of this wonderful home.

It features 3 bedrooms, including a huge master retreat with a private bath and the biggest "dang" walk-in closet ever. On the living level, there is an inviting entry, a formal living room and formal dining room with a traditional Craftsman style fireplace. The "Magazine" quality kitchen features brand-new stainless appliances, a deep stainless sink, custom cabinetry, glass tiled backsplash and exquisite honed countertops. Of course, the eat-in casual dining area of the kitchen flows seamlessly onto a sunny rear deck and right out into the landscaped yard and garden. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor with a perfectly crafted 'Period" style bathroom. Storage and laundry are in the basement, completing the picture. The yard is truly special and the "Garage-mahal" makes it even better. There is room for everyone to romp and play, but also space for a real veggie garden. Garage-mahal alert!! There is a brand new, 1+ car garage nestled in the corner. It is fully finished inside and has a set of nice glass doors that open to the yard. It could be a great studio, work shop, home office or maybe more. Let your imagination go… Of course you can just park your car there, too. All in all this is a really special and very rare offering for Rockridge.

Recently Completed Extensive Renovation has Transformed this Home into an Urban Masterpiece. From the moment you enter the front Door until you stand on the back deck, you will not be disappointed – it has everything you could possibly want.
