In the Lord of the Rings, Tolkien tells of a house that 'was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best.' While I can't promise you perfection, if you dream of your own Hobbit home in the heart of Berkeley, then I hope you will come visit us! From the brick veranda you will feel that 'the road goes ever onward'... with an 82 Walk Score(r) and 97 Bike Score(tm). These scores are well-earned by the incredible convenience of the neighborhood! Inside, the house is filled with comfy nooks, like the bedroom niche, the generous laundry/office, and the eat-in area of the kitchen. The updated systems in no way detract from its original character, in details like the built-in cabinetry in the living room. But where the house really shines is in the large and lovely backyard! The soil may not have been blessed by the Elf Queen Galadriel, but I doubt you will find a better gardening opportunity anywhere in the city! With a full-sized, level lot, this house has the space you dream of for growth; Whether growing a garden, or growing the home*. As Tolkien said 'in every wood, in every spring there is a different green.' Come see if this one is yours! * Buyer to investigate.
