This updated Berkeley Craftsman bungalow offers a perfect blend of modern amenities and timeless Berkeley charm, with the added benefit of owned solar panels, grandfathered into NEM 2.0. The solar system covers more than 100% of the home’s electricity needs, even with an electric car, making it both environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. The exterior welcomes you with lush succulents and a sunflower-yellow front door. Inside, the large living room is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with recessed lighting, classic Craftsman windows, and stunning red oak floors. The bright kitchen features Brazilian slate flooring, river-washed granite countertops, and a gas stove, with a glass door leading to the private patio shaded by a magnificent California Oak tree. The light-filled bedrooms come with built-in closets, and the remodeled bathroom adds a fresh, contemporary touch. You’ll stay comfortable year-round with radiant floor heating throughout the main level and newly installed air conditioning for those warmer months. The expansive lower level offers versatility, with a laundry area, exercise/playroom, and a bonus space ideal for a private office or studio. The modern rear cottage, now equipped with a new A/C and heater mini-split system, provides a tranquil retreat.
