Sitting amongst a cluster of Spanish Revivalist homes, 1655 Scenic – ideally located in Northside – draws you in first with its stunning facade, but takes your breath away once you step inside. In the living room, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and wrought iron filigree draw the eye up. Honey-colored hardwood floors, a grand plaster-style fireplace, and archways throughout the living space deliver architectural charm. From here, flow to the dining space – sunny and central, a perfect place to host – and then to the kitchen, a vintage delight, with checkered floors and cheerful yellow counters and backsplash. Upstairs is the full bath, where you'll delight to find the original vintage pink-and-green tile still intact. Continue up to find the bedrooms – one looking out to the garden, the other with peek-a-boo bay views – with a shared half bathroom between. This condo is unique in that it has its own in-unit laundry, a basement, and a garage space – it truly lives like a home. Just 4 blocks to campus, half a mile to the Gourmet District, and under a mile to BART, this home is quintessential Berkeley at its finest.
