    What's special

    This charming 1904 Edwardian home sits in the heart of North Berkeley's famed "Gourmet Ghetto" and is beautifully sited on it's lot to offer an expansive rear yard! This home features high coved ceilings, hardwood floors, built-in china cabinet and wooden windows. The attic, accessed with a pull down ladder, has been recently developed into a carpeted, finished room with 3 skylights. An earlier addition at rear of the house is a home office, half bath and windows overlooking the fabulous garden. The lot is deep and very gently sloped with 3 distinct level areas for gardening, playing and dining. A small garden structure can be used as a writers cottage, playhouse or potting shed and features its own deck and arbor. There is also a chicken coop in the backyard with its own water source. The back garden boasts mature fruit trees, two 25-foot long raised vegetable beds, an additional cultivated lot at the top of the yard and a lush green wall of tall, established bamboo borders that offers privacy from the neighbors.This is a place where car-free living is truly an option.
