Description

1905 Chestnut is a cheerful Mediterranean Revival two-bed, one-bath home right-sized at 1,052 sf (per public record). With an open-concept main room and clear sight lines from the front door to the backyard, it’s maximized for efficiency, modern living...and cuteness. 

The established water-smart front garden, lovingly designed and improved by the current owner, provides beauty, texture, and whimsy and is equally delightful from the living spaces and the front entry of the home. Charming arched windows allow in western light and provide bright spaces for living and gathering. The two skylights bring additional light into the kitchen and bathroom. 

With thoughtful updates made along the way, this home is move-in ready. Featuring polished and gleaming hardwood floors, fresh paint, and an efficient, fresh kitchen and bath. The tidy, private gated patio backyard includes an EPIC bonus fully permitted studio (with half bath) which features cathedral ceilings and polished concrete floors and is a dream studio for work or play. It opens onto the level paved patio has a separate level-in laundry room, providing opportunity for comfortable outdoor living, working, or entertaining.

Close to local restaurants, La Mission, Noor, Casa Latina, and nearby shopping at Mi Tierra Market. Berkeley marina, and parks. Convenient to UC Berkeley campus, North Berkeley BART 0.4 miles, Transbay bus to SF 0.2 miles. Major bus lines on University & San Pablo, 0.3 miles.

Berkeley

Internationally known for its intellectual richness, cultural diversity, and progressive values.

Welcome to Berkeley

Internationally known for its intellectual richness, cultural diversity, and progressive values, Berkeley is a model California city that its residents are proud to call home.
 
With an abundance of restaurants, cafes, museums, bookstores, art galleries, movie theaters, and performance venues befitting a university town, Berkeley has no shortage of activities to stimulate the senses. It’s also an incredibly picturesque city, with tree-lined streets, beautiful gardens, ample parks, and hidden walkways and staircases.
 
Berkeley’s distinct neighborhoods have a range of architectural styles, including charming Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, California cottages, wooded hillside retreats, and magnificent period revival homes. Much of  Berkeley’s real estate is notable for its singular architectural styles, some of which were designed by famed architects Bernard Maybeck, John Hudson Thomas and Julia Morgan.
 
In addition to being in close proximity to the prestigious University of California at Berkeley, residents also enjoy convenient freeway access to San Francisco, Oakland, and Silicon Valley. Three BART stations (Ashby, Downtown Berkeley, and North Berkeley), as well as the AC Transit bus system, serve the city. If you’re looking for an escape, Tilden Regional Park offers 2,065 acres of trails, meadows and forests, just minutes from downtown. You’ll also find biking trails, a botanical garden, picnic areas, an 18-hole golf course, and a lake for swimming. For kids, there’s a carousel ride, petting zoo, steam train, pony rides, and an environmental education center.
