Updated inside-and-out, on a huge lot, with San Francisco city views and a delightful garden! This beautiful north Berkeley Spanish Mediterranean bungalow leaves little to be desired. Upon entrance, the main level has not a stair in sight and features tasteful updates throughout. Meticulously maintained and boasting a new roof and updated electrical (2025). An ideal layout features two bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bathroom, a charming kitchen with sunset views, a dining area and living room that opens onto a sunny backyard deck on the main level. Downstairs is an additional family room with backyard garden access, laundry room, and sweet full bathroom. The yard at 608 Colusa is a rare find…the yard is beautifully curated and the perfect space for entertaining, enjoying bay views and the flutter of monarch butterflies, and realizing your inner gardener. An additional room downstairs can be used as a workshop or additional storage space. Access the home via Colusa Avenue or with a dedicated driveway off Peralta Avenue. The location straddles two of the most highly-desired East Bay neighborhoods - charming Kensington and the beauty of North Berkeley. Easy access through tree-lined streets to local coffee, highly-rated public schools, and beautiful parks.
