Description

This Mid-Century modern fixer in the Berkeley Hills has been owned by one family since it was built for them in 1951, and is like a time-capsule of the 50's, a real gem! Now it needs some love, work and a creative touch to bring it into the 21st Century. Large picture windows in the living room w/direct views of the majestic Golden Gate, & more original features abound, like the beautifully refinished red oak floors throughout. The convenient all-level floor plan features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms...This Mid-Century modern fixer in the Berkeley Hills has been owned by one family since it was built for them in 1951, and is like a time-capsule of the 50's, a real gem!
