1440 Walnut St # 5

Third-floor North Berkeley condo with mid-century character and real space to downsize or spread out. Elevator building with the most convenient location around the corner from Gourmet District restaurants and shopping.

The living room is anchored by a full exposed brick fireplace and opens through sliding glass doors to a private covered balcony. Oak hardwood floors run throughout, and the building's original decorative breeze block screens add period detail and charm you rarely see anymore.

The dining room accommodates a full-size table and connects to a kitchen with white cabinetry, stainless steel range, pantry, and breakfast bar. Down the hall, the oversized primary bedroom features a window nook perfect for a home office, with views stretching to the Bay. The second bedroom catches hill views and includes a wide closet.

Building amenities include an elevator, shared rooftop deck with panoramic Bay and SF skyline views, on-site laundry, one deeded covered parking space, and private exterior storage. Whether you're scaling down or staking a claim in North Berkeley, this is the one that checks every box.
