A rare offering in West Berkeley - Seldom does a home like this get presented to the market place.

Whichever one you choose, this home is a winner! The sellers just completed an almost from-the-ground-up renovation starting with a new foundation and taking it all the way up to a new roof. This home is truly ready for the next 100 years!!
You will enjoy problem-free living and have all the time you need to explore your new neighborhood and beyond. If you choose "Most Versatile," you will be thinking extra bedrooms for all the kids, extended family, guests or whomever. The lower floor has an office, 2 full baths and internal access for the garage PLUS great access to the backyard. The In-Law expands your possibilities from rental income to Au pair or home office.
With "Modern meets Craftsman," you'll be thinking high ceilings, great contemporary colors, metal & wire banister, lots of light along with a simple nod to the past with shaker style cabinets and Subway styled tile in the kitchen and baths. A truly great part of this home is actually outside. From the generous off-street parking to the wonderful palm tree that is the center of attention in the back yard. The sunny deck off the kitchen will allow you to enjoy many meals and fun times outside. The brick work and all the room to garden and play in the backyard are really rare. This home offers a completed RECO certification along with a clear pest and sewer sign 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 short bike ride from most of Berkeley, including Downtown and the UC Campus. All of Emeryville and Downtown Oakland are also nearby.
