On a quiet, cute street of charming historic homes lies a beautifully maintained 1923 traditional craftsman in a prime location—sought after not only for its walkability to Monterey Market, the gourmet ghetto, highly rated elementary and middle schools, Virginia-McGee Totland, Ohlone dog park, and North Berkeley BART, along with easy 80 freeway access, but also because this is the type of neighborhood that lines the sidewalks with luminarias at Christmas. You get the close community feeling of a small town, yet all the amenities of a bustling city. This 3 bedroom, 1 bath home has kept the features that make a craftsman special—wood flooring, crown moulding, built-in bookcases and glass hutches, lots of windows—and updated amenities that increase its functionality: a modernized kitchen and bathroom, recessed lighting, double-paned windows, and quality fixtures. The bedrooms all have oversized closets, and two overlook the private back garden with patio space for entertaining, surrounded by mature fruit trees (varieties of avocados and figs, Fuyu persimmon, Meyer lemon, finger lime) while still affording views of the Berkeley Hills.
