Nicely Renovated Home in Convenient Location - Built in 1948, this cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom bungalow is located on a spacious corner lot in a peaceful residential neighborhood in northwest Berkeley, only one block from the North Berkeley BART station. Recently updated to accommodate today's modern family, this charming home has a living room/dining room, a remodeled kitchen, three bedrooms, two remodeled bathrooms, and a large two-car garage. The home's exterior features a shallow, cross-hipped roof and stairs leading to the original ornamental front door that is protected by a covered porch. A new horizontally-planked redwood fence at the sides and front of the house complements the home's horizontallly-planked clapboard wood siding. New landscaping in the front and back yards includes a lawn as well as drought-resistant plants. Once inside, the cheerful living room/dining room combination features three sets of sliding dual-pane windows that bring plenty of natural light into the room. The home's vintage hardwood floors have been brought back to their original beautiful condition and appear in most rooms in the house. The newly remodeled kitchen offers elegant custom cabinetry, quartz counters, recessed lighting, and new GE Profile stainless steel appliances that include a dishwasher, a gas range, and a French-door refrigerator. Two of the home's bedrooms are situated off of a hallway to the right of the living room and can be closed off from the rest of the house for separation of space. These two bedrooms are each generously sized and have hardwood floors, spacious closets, handsome new light fixtures, and plenty of natural light from dual-pane sliding windows. A fully remodeled bathroom is conveniently located between the bedrooms and includes a shower over the original cast-iron tub with a marble-patterned ceramic tile surround with a translucent glass tile border. A floating vanity with soft-close drawers and a built-in sink provides a contemporary accent to this soothing space. A special feature of this home is the spacious bedroom suite that is located a few steps from the kitchen. The sunny room has a new ceramic-tile floor that resembles the oak floors in the rest of the house; a built-in closet; and sliding doors that open to the backyard. The master bathroom offers a contemporary vanity and a large walk-in shower that has a ceramic marble surround, and contemporary mosaic-tile accents and a window with opaque glass provides natural light and ventilation. A spacious two-car detached garage has been finished with new insulation, fresh paint, recessed ceiling lights, low electrical outlets on each wall, and new dual-paned windows. The modified garage can be used a home office, work space, or even a family room. 1354 Virginia is wonderfully situated in an ideal neighborhood that is close to the conveniences and charms that Berkeley has to offer. You are only 1 block to the underground North Berkeley BART station, and the shops and restaurants on University, San Pablo and Sacramento Avenues are only a few blocks away.
