Property Description

Thoroughly remodeled vacant side-by-side Golden Duplex + detached office in a convenient Central Berkeley location. The owners unit is set in the rear and includes two bedrooms, one full bathroom, a remodeled kitchen, an amazing, magical, professionally landscaped garden, and a fabulous office that is detached but only steps away. The sunny detached office with soaring ceilings and exposed wood beams includes a half bathroom, and washer/dryer. The front unit includes one bedroom, one bathroom, a cozy living room with fireplace, and separate laundry machines. The rear garden is designed to be exclusively used by the owner's unit in the rear, and features a large deck, patio, a glorious apricot tree, lemon trees, plum trees, a fig tree, and blueberry bushes - a virtual cornucopia. The property is quiet and private, yet it is only blocks to Ashby BART, offers easy access to Berkeley Bowl, and is not far from all of the fabulous restaurants and shops in downtown Berkeley.
