Two wonderfully charming houses on one lot! The front house is a lovely, updated craftsman with large front porch, bright and spacious living and dining rooms, three bedrooms, plus room, one and a quarter bath. Several work spaces and loads of storage make the expansive kitchen perfect for preparing wonderful meals and entertaining friends. Many marvelous parties have been thrown here! The new back deck offers space for relaxing with morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Delightful plantings create tranquil gardens and surround both houses. Private and comfortable, the back house is an ideal spot for extended family, guests or income potential. In addition, there's a plus space to use as a home office, or write your best novel! The laundry area doubles as a hobby room, and the cool cellar stores your choice wines. The cottage even has its own hidden garden. This is a remarkable property, designated as a Golden Duplex, in a fabulous central Berkeley location.
