High-end finishes include hand-scraped acacia wood floors, exquisite soapstone countertops, and a deep copper soaking tub. The heart of the home is a gorgeous open kitchen featuring custom maple cabinetry, a dedicated pantry, and a breakfast bar. Perfect for hosting or everyday meals, its sprawling workspace and new downdraft range make it a chef’s dream. Picture yourself cooking up a special creation, grabbing lemons or herbs from the garden, and popping over to Berkeley Bowl West to pick up last ingredients. The light-filled primary bedroom opens directly to a private, sun-drenched backyard, perfect for gardening or just relaxing. A third bedroom that could also be integrated into the main living space, and a detached office add options for use. Owned solar lets you feel good about your footprint, and upgraded systems leave you time to kick back and enjoy life. Set on a friendly cul-de-sac, around the corner from San Pablo Park, the location is the perfect jumping off point for exploring West Berkeley’s thriving food and arts scene!
