There's a reason the old real estate axiom begins with Location, Location, Location and 1611 Rose Street delivers exactly that. Set in one of North Berkeley's most coveted pockets, near Monterey Market and all the great shops, this beautifully updated home pairs a premier address with nearly $200,000 in thoughtful improvements. Freshly painted inside and out, the home features refinished hardwood floors, new hardwood in the kitchen, new stainless steel appliances, and new quartz counters. A recently added rear deck frames Bay views, extending the living space outdoors. A near full-height basement offers exceptional expansion potential, while a 2024 roof, solar system, and Tesla Powerwall bring modern efficiency and peace of mind. With two bedrooms, two full baths, and nearly 1,600 square feet of elegant living space -- including a large living room, generous dining room, an office/studio inside the home, plus a detached office/studio with storage -- this property adapts beautifully to work, creativity, and everyday living. The backyard includes a charming potting shed and room to garden or unwind. BESO compliant, BESO score is 7. Home Energy Score of 7 as well. This is the Rose you've been waiting for.
