Located in the heart of West Berkeley and positioned near the vibrant Fourth Street district, the 3-bedroom home sits behind a gated front yard while maintaining effortless flow to a private, flat yard for outdoor entertaining. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, the property has integrated some high-efficiency features such as a modern heat pump AC system, and dual pane windows earning a 9/10 Home Energy Score, BESO Compliance, and a $0 Section 1 clearance.

The bathroom features a subway tile shower surround with a charcoal hexagon tile floor for a modern pop. Two bedrooms off the living area feature frosted glass barn doors on the closets, while a flexible third bedroom offers a quiet retreat. An indoor laundry room features ample counter space, side-by-side W/D and outdoor access. Thoughtful storage is achieved through adjustable Elfa closet organizer systems throughout.
