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.
