An early Berkeley treasure! Wonderfully sited to take advantage of sweeping Bay Views, this early Walter H Ratcliff Jr. beauty awaits its new owner after 90+ years in the same family! While the front of the home faces North, most rooms face south with tons of light. Generous spaces and great flow in the public rooms creates super comfortable living. A beautiful kitchen was expanded and updated, two bedrooms were combined to create a large primary suite, and most of the foundation was replaced in 2007. There is a cozy office with built-ins and a full bath on the main level as well as access to a south-facing deck from the living/dining room. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and two baths. The garden includes a landscaped front yard, large rear patio, a level lawn area for play, garden shed, and yes, lots of sunlight. The lower level is rustic, with views of the new foundation and systems with lots of room for hobbies, workshop or a pool table! Located just a few houses from the beginning of the Indian Rock parks, this location is great.....quiet, access to parks, beautiful views, and near shopping. An opportunity to live in a classic beauty!
