Located in the heart of North Berkeley's "Gourmet Ghetto," this two bedroom, one bath condo close to UC Berkeley Campus beckons to all who would love to live CAR FREE. Stroll just a few blocks in one direction, and you're at the Northside entry to the University of California at Berkeley. Stroll a few blocks in the opposite direction, and you're at the crossroads of Cedar and Shattuck Avenues - and where to eat tonight: Chez Panisse, Cheese Board, Sauls, Crepevine, Gregoire's -- or all the other luscious restaurants and eateries that make up Berkeley's "Gourmet Ghetto." And don't forget your French desert at Masses! So like Paris!
This condo is the top floor corner unit of a two-story building. The drama of the exposed beams in the ceilings of the living and dinings rooms greet you as you enter. The travertine art wall over the fireplace is graced with floor-to-ceiling windows on either side. These tall, elongated windows continue on the other wall to let in more sunshine and light. There is a quality of added richness of the hardwood floors throughout the living and dining rooms, enhanced by ceramic tile in the entry way. Is it Paris or Provence? Munich or London? Some will even say Milan!
The master bedroom is large and spacious. The second bedroom is bright and light with windows on two walls, and serves as both home office and a guest bedroom. (There are no shared common walls in this home.) The updated kitchen is efficient in size -- all European kitchens are! -- yet owner as chef will love to entertain on the glorious patio just outside the kitchen's sliding doors. A new bathroom sparkles like a gem.
More than just the condo itself, the added beauty of this large two-bedroom unit is the lifestyle it offers to those who seek it -- to live green without a car. The Downtown Berkeley BART station is quite near, shopping for groceries or meeting friends at cafes is easy living here. Movie theatres, lectures at the University, so much is always going on in North Berkeley!
