    What's special

    Nestled in a garden setting, this urban oasis is a charming vintage bungalow with a sleek makeover. The kitchen and the bathroom have been completely redone, with creative storage solutions and contemporary finishes and materials. There is a greywater system from the washer to provide extra water to the trees and shrubs, a Nest Thermostat to communicate with the heater, radiant heat in the bathroom floor nooks and crannies, built-in cupboard in the dining room and a lovely fireplace. Located on a bicycle boulevard, it is easy to get to BART, Berkeley Bowl, the Lorin Farmer's Market, the tool lending library, parks and more. With a WalkScore of 82 and a BikeScore of 100, it is a perfect place to live and leave your car at home.
