Originally built as a carriage house, this standalone home offers a rare combination of character, flexibility, and future potential in a prime Berkeley location. The oversized living space sets the tone with its generous scale and natural light, creating a room that easily adapts to working from home, entertaining, or everyday living without feeling constrained. The upstairs bedroom provides separation and privacy, with enough space to accommodate a sitting area, workspace, or creative use beyond sleeping alone. A recently fully remodeled kitchen brings a clean, modern sensibility to the home, with updated finishes and thoughtful functionality that connects comfortably to the main living areas. One of the home's standout features is the roof deck, offering private outdoor space ideal for daily use or relaxed gatherings. Unlike a condo, this is a standalone property, providing autonomy and meaningful opportunity for future expansion. The existing footprint allows for the potential to add bedrooms or further reconfigure the space over time. Well located near campus, neighborhood amenities, and commuter routes, this home delivers immediate livability with long-term upside-an uncommon offering in the Berkeley market. Home Energy score is 9!
