Charming Berkeley Cottage with Expansive Garden | 1BR/1BA | In-Unit Laundry
Nestled in Berkeley's sought-after Oceanview neighborhood, this classic shingled cottage blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Offering the privacy of a standalone home, this beautifully maintained 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence features a rare combination of indoor charm and exceptional outdoor space.
Inside, you'll find a spacious eat-in kitchen with new flooring, a gas range and oven, a full-size stainless steel refrigerator, and the convenience of an in-unit stacked washer and dryer. Original built-in cabinetry provides abundant storage, while genuine hardwood floors add warmth and character to the living room and bedroom.
