Spacious and beautifully rebuilt, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home combines a modern lay-out with eco-friendly living right in the heart of Central Berkeley. Step inside to a formal entry with plenty of storage--hang your coats, kick off your shoes, and keep it all neat. The gourmet kitchen with island opens to the living and dining areas with custom built-ins, plus there's a great walk-in pantry and a cool half bath. Also on the main level is a full bedroom with ensuite bath--perfect for guests--and a family room that flows out to a big deck and an amazing backyard with eco turf, sandbox, fruit trees, and gorgeous landscaping. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, all on the same level, plus a laundry room. The primary suite has a large walk-in closet and its own office or sitting nook, while two more bedrooms share a beautifully designed bath. The remodel by the current owners went way beyond cosmetic--think heat pump, updated foundation, plumbing, electrical, new roof, and tankless water heater. Set back with just a couple entry steps, the layout is super flexible and lives easy. All in a prime Central Berkeley spot close to shops, parks, schools, and BART.
