Remarks

Welcome to a rare opportunity in Berkeley—a stunningly updated home that delivers immediate livability and exceptional value, not to mention a rare primary suite with an ensuite bath. This move-in-ready residence has been refreshed with meaningful upgrades where it counts. The remodeled kitchen offers a clean, modern aesthetic with improved functionality—ideal for daily living and entertaining. Two updated bathrooms provide convenience and flexibility, while fresh interior paint and electrical improvements enhance the living experience. Natural light fills the home, creating an open, airy feel throughout, making the home feel larger and more inviting. A dedicated laundry area adds practicality, and two off-street parking spaces are a premium convenience. From a systems standpoint, the property is sewer lateral compliant—an often overlooked cost already handled. Simply move in and enjoy. In a market where entry-level homes require significant work, this home offers a compelling alternative: a clean, upgraded property at a price point that still makes sense. It’s an ideal launchpad for buyers seeking a home without the typical renovation burden. If you’re looking for value, functionality, an energy score of 4 and a home you can enjoy from day one, this is one to prioritize.
