Meticulously renovated and expanded retreat in a cherished enclave in the heart of Berkeley! Essentially reimagined & rebuilt, offering fabulous indoor/outdoor living, an open floor plan for epic entertaining. Snazzy kitchen with stainless steel counters, skylit working peninsula overlooking great room, and a dining area with new sliding doors to the sundrenched yard. No expense was spared here: significant seismic/structural upgrades, new plumbing & electric, dual-paned thermal break windows, first floor laundry, new roof in 2017, and unique high-end finishes. Special care was taken to create a healthy, safe environment: pesticide-free wool carpeting, formaldehyde-free insulation, new exterior doors with multi-point locks, and a fully fenced yard & entry. The new 2nd floor master suite is a haven in itself, with skylights and multipurpose spaces for lounging, working, & creating. Near BART, cafes, and central to Berkeley’s best of everything, don’t miss this opportunity!
