Property Description

Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this Berkeley bungalow with detached studio is a masterclass in "Elevated Farmhouse" style. Expertly redesigned with premium finishes, the home balances a sophisticated palette of warm hues and vibrant tones. It remains both timeless and design-forward, honoring its Craftsman roots with original coved ceilings, built-ins, and elegant wainscoting. Greet neighbors from the welcoming front porch before entering generously sized living and dining spaces. The sun-drenched kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring modern appliances and ample storage. Retreat to the large primary bedroom with an adjacent nursery/office, or the third bedroom which overlooks a majestic wisteria trellis and picturesque dining patio. The bountiful backyard is verdant oasis, boasting irrigated planters brimming with berries, herbs, tomatoes, and artichokes, alongside a lush grass patch and private forest retreat. The bonus garden cottage, complete with a kitchenette and full bath, offers the ultimate flexibility for guests, a home office, or a quiet studio. With a large basement for storage and a prime South Berkeley location near Berkeley Bowl, Ashby BART, and the Adeline Farmers Market, this home is a rare sanctuary in the heart of it all. Experience the perfect blend of artisan charm and modern luxury. Home Energy Score of 7.
