Within a three-block radius, this townhouse offers many of the amenities that make Berkeley so beloved. Leave your car in the spacious garage-with ample room for storage and convenient interior access-and stroll to the Cheese Board, Chez Panisse, Saul's, and the original Peet's Coffee. Live Oak Park, home to the annual Himalayan Fair, the Thursday evening Farmers' Market, Masse's Pastries, Safeway, Andronico's, and an array of restaurants ranging from Italian and Japanese to classic American cuisine, are all just three to four blocks away. A little farther on, the Berkeley Arts District beckons with its vibrant cultural offerings, and a convenient bus ride brings you back home. Utilities metered separately, homeowner pays and pays for garbage. The only utility paid by the HOA is water. In front, a charming garden provides just enough space to enjoy without demanding much upkeep. Only one step leads to the bedroom level, which includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry/utility room. Upstairs, the living room features a beamed cathedral ceiling and clerestory windows that fill the space with natural light. Your eye is immediately drawn to the view of San Francisco and the inviting deck, partially sheltered by a lush tree-an ideal setting to relax and take in the sunset. The upstairs living space is completed by an eat-in kitchen, a half bath, and additional closet space. It's simple, easy Berkeley living.
