Situated in Berkeley's highly sought-after Westbrae neighborhood, this Mediterranean-style home blends classic architectural charm with modern updates. Set back from the street behind lush gardens, mature trees, and layered greenery, the home enjoys a peaceful setting just moments from neighborhood cafés, parks, shopping, and North Berkeley BART. Fully fenced front, side, and rear yards, together with a one-car driveway, provide convenient off-street parking while creating inviting spaces to enjoy outdoors. The split-level floor plan balances architectural character with comfortable everyday living. The living room showcases an arched ceiling, handsome fireplace, and a graceful picture window overlooking the surrounding greenery. A formal dining room anchors the main level, while the kitchen features quartz countertops, painted wood cabinetry, stainless-steel Miele appliances, and a charming breakfast nook. Recent improvements include a whole-house electrical upgrade, heat pump mini-split heating and cooling units, and freshly painted interiors. The layout includes three bedrooms, two updated baths, an adjoining sunroom, a flexible family room, generous storage, and a dedicated laundry area. The beautifully landscaped grounds have been thoughtfully designed for outdoor enjoyment. Multiple flagstone patios, built-in seating, a spa-like soaking hot tub, and a detached studio office create comfortable spaces for relaxing, working, and entertaining. Mature maple and magnolia trees, complemented by fruit-bearing plum and orange trees, enhance the manicured landscape and provide seasonal fruit to enjoy. Enjoy outstanding walkability to neighborhood favorites including Monterey Market, ACME Bread, and local cafés, along with convenient access to Cedar Rose Park, the Ohlone Greenway, North Berkeley BART, 4th Street shopping, and Solano Avenue dining. This is Westbrae living at its best. BESO Score is 4.
