Nestled between vibrant San Pablo Ave amenities and the tranquility of Strawberry Creek Park, this Poet’s Corner gem is hitting the market for the first time in 30 years. Lucky you! This single-level sunny 2BR+/1.5BA Craftsman exudes charm and offers a balance of ready-to-go and ready-for-your-upgrades. An enclosed porch opens into a spacious bonus room that flows to the living room, complete with ample windows and a fireplace with built-in shelving. The home boasts refinished hardwood floors and a freshly painted interior. A formal dining room, kitchen, and two bedrooms and bathroom complete the picture, with access to a deck and side-yard off the primary bedroom. Step down from the kitchen into a modified garage with washer/dryer, half bath and backyard access; it offers ADU potential. The level, fenced yard provides plenty of space for recreation, gardening, or off-street parking. This tree-lined location, with a 92 Walk Score and 100 Bike Score, is close to shops, restaurants, park, school, N. Berkeley BART, Transbay bus stop, and freeway access. This is Easy Street!
