ONE OWNER SINCE 1988. Don't miss this extraordinary Berkeley Victorian with the most amazing nearly 11' ceilings! You wouldn't know by looking at her, but this painted lady didn't shine so bright when the owners purchased the property as a fixer in 1988 and embarked on a remarkable preservation and restoration process. Their hard work began with a new foundation, bolting, shearing, and installing a French drain. It continued with a systems overhaul (200 amp panel, re-wiring, copper pipe, radiant heat). The sun-filled kitchen has an adorable pantry and opens to the back deck overlooking a heavenly garden. The main floor has 2 parlors, a dining room with wainscoting & built-ins, and a primary suite with full bath. A graceful stairway leads to the upstairs 2 bedrooms, one with an ensuite full bath. The lower level permitted ADU has lots of windows and a big kitchen. The huge workshop is a tinkerer's dream! The enclosed sunporch and 2 off-street parking spaces top it all off. The really hard work is done, so you can focus on the finishing touches, while enjoying nearby Berkeley Farmers’ Market, Sweet Adeline Bakery, and Ashby BART.
