Time-honored architecture and sleek style converge in this Berkeley gem. Situated one block from Rocky Mountain Lake Park, this home is nestled on a large lot with professional landscaping. A showstopping arched door welcomes residents into an open living and dining area grounded by hardwood floors and a custom steel fireplace surround. Generous windows usher in cascades of natural light that illuminate a remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, open shelving, fresh new stainless appliances, exposed brick and a breakfast nook. Wander upstairs into the primary suite, where vaulted ceilings, a desk nook and a renovated, spa-like bathroom await. The lower level encompasses a lucrative and fully furnished guest suite with both interior and exterior entrances, gas fireplace, two large bedrooms and a cozy kitchenette ideal for visitors and the potential for short-term rentals. An incredible outdoor oasis unfurls in the backyard, where an in-ground pool is surrounded by a cabana and a newer hot tub (2022). The fast-growing hedge ensures serenity while in-ground irrigation and front sprinklers keep the yard lush.
