Over the past decade, the home has been extensively renovated under the guidance of a distinguished interior designer, with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, high-quality finishes, and detail. Expansive windows invite abundant natural light, and layered lighting allows each space to transition beautifully from day to evening. An open layout supports connection and ease of living, while the kitchen offers high-quality appliances, generous storage, and an ideal setting for both daily meals and gatherings. Nearly every window frames views of surrounding greenery, creating a strong connection to the outdoors. The mature garden is designed for ease of maintenance, and the deck functions as a serene outdoor living room. A clean, well-lit basement provides excellent workspace, ample storage, and potential for expansion. Ideally located near BART, Berkeley Bowl, Elmwood shops, the Public Library, Grove Park, and Rockridge. Convenient transit options abound. Just as notable is the sense of neighborhood connection that defines this stretch of Emerson Street. BESO and Sewer Compliant. Home Energy Score of 10.
