    What's special

    Enjoy a convenient lifestyle in this beautiful, contemporary 2-bedroom, 2-bath townhouse in Berkeley. Located just blocks from BART and bus lines, an incredible grassy park, cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores, this property is very conducive to car-free living (although one off-street parking spot is included). The 1,280 sq. ft. home (per public records) has unique, custom features and an open floor plan, with a sunken living room and isolated fireplace, plus large windows that allow in plenty of sunlight. Next to a tasteful dining area is the exposed kitchen, which features stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a skylight and breakfast bar. A sliding glass door leads to a sweet, private backyard, with a deck and garden area. Upstairs, the two bedrooms boast soaring ceilings. The front bedroom has a private balcony, while the rear bedroom has a sleeping loft, custom built-in bookshelves and desk, plus a private bathroom. Both bathrooms are updated with style. The Ohlone Homeowners Association is a small, five-unit complex in great condition, located just a few houses away from delightful Ohlone Park. This unit has just one shared wall, along the staircase and bathrooms. Laundry is within the unit, and the heating system is forced air. Termite work has been completed and sewer lateral is compliant.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
