From the moment you step inside, it's clear this home offers something rare for the area-space, light, and a layout that feels elevated above the rest. Soaring ceilings, natural light, and rich hardwood flooring create an immediate sense of openness and style throughout the main level. The kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, extensive cabinetry, and a skylight that fills the space with warmth. Designed with both daily living and entertaining in mind, it flows effortlessly into the main living area. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, all complemented by hardwood flooring and generous closet space. The lower level delivers a substantial second living area-ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or creating a private retreat-along with a full bathroom for added convenience. Step outside to a fully fenced yard designed for both relaxation and hosting, complete with a large concrete patio, a gazebo that stays with the home, and a storage shed for added convenience. A long driveway and 2-car garage provide ample parking and functionality. Built in 2005, this home is among the newer construction options in Berkeley-an increasingly rare opportunity in a market where newer homes are limited. Homes offering this combination of space, condition, outdoor living, and newer construction are often the ones buyers compete for. Early showings are highly recommended as interest is expected immediately.
