Features
Welcome to 1261 Hearst Ave– a charming 1+ bedroom craftsman bungalow retreat located on a corner lot in a prime North Berkeley location!
An inviting and spacious front porch greets you upon arrival, making a perfect spot for your morning coffee. Inside, the sunlit living room feels open and airy, highlighted by warm hardwood floors, crown molding details, and generous windows that fill the space with natural light. The living room flows into the dining area where a vintage hutch and sideboard offer timeless character and practical storage, complemented by a fun pendant light fixture. Imagine hosting friends and family for celebrations and gatherings. The cheerful and updated kitchen has marble countertops, dishwasher, gas range, ample storage and workspace, and skylight. Off the kitchen, find a spacious bedroom with windows along two walls and a large closet with a built-in Elfa organizing system. A versatile bonus room offers flexibility as a home office, creative studio, or guest area, enhancing the home’s functional layout. An updated bathroon includes newly added sage colored marmoleaum floors, new vanity, shower over tub combination and a solar tube. The lavender vine, Japanese maple, Meyer lemon tree, and bougainvillea bloom and fruit throughout the year, quietly marking the seasons. Thoughtfully designed, this home lives larger than its square footage suggests. Additional storage is available on the lower level, which also houses the washer/dryer and mechanical systems, including an on-demand water heater.
Ideally situated near neighborhood favorites such as Acme Bread Co., Kermit Lynch Wine and the many varied and vibrant boutiques and restaurants along Shattuck and University Avenues. You will also enjoy easy access to fabulous shopping and dining opportunities on 4th Street including Peets, Design Within Reach, CB2, Rejuvenation, Lulu Lemon, and more! Ohlone Park and the Greenbelt is just minutes away, as is Cedar Rose Park. Commute options are dynamic with North Berkeley BART less than a half mile away as well as AC Transit lines and access to highways. With a Walk Score® of 93 and a Bike Score™ of 100, this location truly delivers the best of Berkeley living! What a wonderful place to call home!
