Main home + modern ADU/Guest House in Magical Westbrae! Just a stone's throw from Cedar Rose Park, the Ohlone Greenway, and N. Berkeley BART, this quaint bungalow on a tree-lined street offers quintessential Berkeley living. Built in 1943, the home has been transformed for today's dweller. The updated level-in bungalow flows seamlessly to a private and sun-filled yard. The detached ADU was completed in 2020 - with concrete floors, exposed beam ceiling, bold colors, and modern design; the seller used this as a guest house and a work-from-home escape. Enjoy Bartavelle breakfasts, Monterey Market for groceries, Westbrae Biergarten for lunch, or hop over to 4th Street for a bite and some shopping. This one has it all. A true gem!
