An urban oasis in Lower Elmwood! Tucked behind a private gate and lush front garden, this extensively updated home blends classic charm with modern comfort. The inviting porch opens to a sunlit living room with large windows, built-ins, and a new gas fireplace. The remodeled kitchen and dining area feature skylights and a new laundry zone with side-by-side units and butcher-block counter. The main bedroom connects to a luxurious remodeled bath with a vintage soaking tub. A flexible layout includes an office (or 2nd bedroom) and a finished attic with westerly views and storage. The home sits at the rear of the lot with surreal privacy, offering space to expand or add an ADU. Upgrades include a new roof, modern electrical, int/ext paint, insulation, fencing, gates and redwood decking. Prime location near Willard Park, Berkeley Bowl, and local favorites. Move-in ready!
