Beautifully Renovated Edwardian Bungalow in South Berkeley

Welcome to this stunningly renovated turn-of-the-century Edwardian bungalow, where timeless architectural character meets modern comfort and style.

A formal front entry with a welcoming alcove opens to a spacious, sun-filled living room with a lovely bay window. A separate formal dining room, also featuring a bay window, provides the perfect setting for entertaining and everyday gatherings. The brand-new kitchen is both stylish and functional, showcasing contemporary cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, an island breakfast bar, and recessed lighting (2026).

The completely renovated bathroom features an elegant modern double vanity and a generous walk-in shower (2026). Additional highlights include new engineered hardwood flooring throughout, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, and a new HVAC system with the added comfort of central air conditioning (2026). The home also features double-pane windows and is sewer lateral compliant. A convenient hallway laundry closet includes a stackable washer and dryer.

Outside, enjoy a sunny, landscaped lot with fresh sod, classic wood picket fencing, and a brick patio—an inviting space for outdoor dining and relaxation. An unfinished attached bonus space with a separate exterior entrance offers exciting potential for a workshop, home office, or creative studio.*

This thoughtfully updated home combines the charm of early 20th-century architecture with the conveniences of modern living. Ideally situated in South Berkeley, with easy access to Ashby BART, Berkeley Bowl, and the UC Berkeley campus, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the best of Berkeley living.
