Walk/bike to Ashby BART and just minutes to Rockridge, Elmwood, Temescal, and major freeways! Built in 1905, this stately house offers a beautiful blending of the architectural styles so prevalent in early 20th century Berkeley. The 2-story house on a large lot includes a formal LR, chef's kitchen, 3BR, 1+BA and a large DR/Fam room addition that opens to the spacious, fenced backyard. The home maintains many original finishes and details, yet offers updates and additions in keeping with a 21st century lifestyle. Vintage features include oak floors, 9-ft ceilings, picture rails, wide baseboards and a traditional LR fireplace. Upgrades include wood-clad dual-pane windows, radiant heating, Viking, Bosch and Sub-Zero kitchen appliances and Cararra marble kitchen counters. The large backyard includes raised vegetable beds, lemon and fig trees, and a large redwood deck at the rear of the house. A large detached garage makes a great workshop/garden shed. Fantastic location, fabulous house!
