Charming Craftsman Bungalow in the heart of it all! Many original details remain intact like the elegant built-ins in the dining room, the beautifully resurfaced original hardwood floors throughout, the wood burning fireplace adjacent to a vintage pull out desk. Incredible natural light floods the spaces - a sensible, open floorpan beckons. The kitchen was thoughtfully remodeled in 2024 and the full and half baths are also refreshed. All 3 bedrooms live large to allow for various arrangements for every kind of owner. A sunny breakfast nook looks out onto an enormous, flat and sunny backyard where the current owners had thought to add an ADU. The possibilities are endless but pause to take in all the established plantings like the plum trees where the sellers enjoyed 4 pounds of fruit yearly. Basement provides sizeable bonus space where the current owners used as an engineering workshop, complete with a 3D printer and workbench. Walk Score 93 with Rockridge offerings less than 0.5 mile away and a Bike Score of 99. Conveniently located between Ashby and Rockridge BART, both less than a mile away. Urban living at its best!
