The original early 1900’s hardwood floors set the tone and accentuate the beautiful wainscoting, high ceilings, decorative fireplace, and built-ins. The two spacious bedrooms with generous closets both have leafy vistas. The kitchen offers Heath tile counters, stainless steel appliances, fir floors and access out to the deck and back yard. The period bathroom features a lovely clawfoot tub and custom vanity. Nicely sited in the back yard is a magical casita with plaster walls and a flagstone floor where the current owner housed her loom and art studio. Additional bonus space can be found in the partially converted garage, perfect for a zoom room, home gym, or general hang out space. Newer windows and updated electrical provide peace of mind. Close to San Pablo Park, Berkeley Bowl and Ashby BART. Come take a look!
