Set on a generous lot with a detached bonus space, the 1172 SQFT home lives larger than expected thanks to its open layout and seamless connection to the outdoors. Step inside to a bright, welcoming living room with a picture window and statement fireplace, flowing effortlessly into the dining area and a stunning gourmet kitchen. Thoughtfully designed with stylish countertops and backsplashes, custom cabinetry, and a peninsula with breakfast bar, the kitchen is both a showpiece and a gathering place perfect for everything from casual mornings to lively dinners with friends. French doors open to a spacious deck, extending your living area into the beautifully landscaped backyard. With low-maintenance turf, multiple patios, and a built-in firepit, the outdoor space invites you to relax, entertain, or play—whether it’s a quiet evening under the stars or a weekend get-together. Tucked at the rear of the property for privacy, the detached bonus structure offers a flexible retreat ideal for a home office, creative studio, or workout space. Back inside, hardwood floors and recessed lighting lead to two bright bedrooms with generous closets and a stylish full bath featuring a dual shower. Additional upgrades include air conditioning (heat pump and ducting updated in 2023), a privacy gate, and off-street parking for multiple cars. All of this is moments from Berkeley’s vibrant mix of parks, top-rated schools, and renowned shops, dining, and cultural amenities: Berkeley Bowl, gyms, yoga, and waterfront trails are all close by. Easily access the rest of the bay via BART, multiple bus, and bike lanes. BESO compliant, energy score of 10/10! Energy Score: 10
