Tucked just two blocks from lively Tennyson Street, this stylish home in the heart of Berkeley offers an unmatched blend of character and comfort. Set on a spacious 6,250-square-foot lot, this single-family home offers rare walkability and thoughtful design throughout. Inside, a bright and open floorplan features contemporary finishes and an inviting living area anchored by a brand-new fireplace and wide-set windows that flood the space with natural light. Entertain with ease in the dedicated dining area, complete with a built-in beverage bar and fridge, and enjoy a kitchen that pairs sleek cabinetry and stainless steel appliances with modern hardware and smart functionality. The main level hosts two bedrooms, including a primary suite with a generous walk-in closet. Downstairs, a recently finished basement expands your living space with a large rec room, a separate laundry area (washer + dryer included), a conforming bedroom with egress, and a versatile non-conforming bedroom or office -- ideal for guests or work-from-home needs. Step outside to a southwest-facing backyard retreat -- fully fenced and thoughtfully designed with a deck, patio, and hot tub for year-round enjoyment. An oversized two-car garage with alley access provides ample storage. This is a great space to imagine a future ADU. All of this, just a short stroll to Huckleberry Roasters, Parisi, Berkeley Lake Park, and everything Tennyson Street has to offer. A rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in the heart of Berkeley.
