An enchanted oasis awaits in West Berkeley! Mature landscaping wraps around this soulful bungalow, creating a Zen-like retreat from urban living. Privacy abounds from the moment you enter through the arbor gate. The main living and dining area is an open floor plan flooded with natural light, ideal for easy gathering. Aesthetically the bright cook's kitchen combines rich, golden wood and sleek stainless steel. Make your way into the converted garage, which features an efficient home office and access to the attic, containing ample storage space. The two bedrooms are warm and inviting, with Japanese shoji screens and window coverings. And the bathroom is a cool pop of color, boasting twin skylights and a deep soaking tub. Open the French doors off the dining area onto the sunny back deck - perfect for al fresco dining and casual entertaining. Neighborhood faves include Caffe Chiave, Longbranch Saloon, and Paisan, plus you're close to Berkeley Bowl and Fourth Street. Welcome home!
