Features
Luminous condo in the ideal North Berkeley location with no shared walls and supreme walkability! Set above the street with windows all around, this home is graced by a perfect combination of period details and thoughtful renovation. Spacious living and dining rooms are flooded with light throughout the day. Don't miss the perfect office space with marble built-ins. The freshly remodeled kitchen is a jewel-like space with clean lines, rich finishes and sunset views. Two large bedrooms are tucked off a hallway that provides good separation for privacy. A pristine remodeled bathroom is the picture of simplicity and style. And a few steps down on the ground floor is the laundry area and a sweet patio space for outdoor relaxation. This location is perfection, near the North Berkeley BART station and the Transbay Express bus line. Monterey Market, a multitude of dining choices and coffee are all part of the friendly neighborhood feel. The nearby Ohlone Greenway makes for a bike score of 96. Add a walk score of 87 and you may not need that car. But if you do, there's a full private garage all your own in addition to the parking pad provided. Only five units and a low HOA fee!
Neighborhood
Centered on Hopkins Street at the foot of the Berkeley Hills, this quiet, relaxed residential community consists of charming bungalows, California Craftsman homes, and English Tudors. Indian Rock, the largest example of the Northbrae rhyolite outcroppings in the neighborhood, is popular with climbers honing their skills.
Nearby green spaces include three-acre Cedar-Rose Park and Terrace Park. For those working on home horticulture projects, Berkeley Horticultural Nursery on McGee Avenue and Westbrae Nursery on Gilman Street offer advice, seeds, plants, and gardening tools.
Northbrae’s two-block long retail district may be small, but it is crammed with gourmet-food purveyors. It's possible to shop here like a European, going from store to store, purchasing everything you need for the week's dinner. Monterey Market (an institution for more than 50 years), Monterey Fish Market, Magnani Poultry, and Hopkins Street Bakery make Northbrae into a mecca for food lovers. Outdoor cafe Espresso Roma offers the opportunity to enjoy a latte in the glorious weather.
Northbrae is within walking distance to the North Berkeley BART and the North Branch of the Berkeley Public Library. Designed by noted Bay Area architect Julia Morgan in the early 20th century, the latter building is one of the most stunning civic structures in Berkeley.
