What This Townhouse Offers
15 Minute Bike or 15 Minute Bus to UC Berkeley.
What is great about this home is that it has nice hardwood floors, tall ceilings, Victorian built in features,... a very large dining room AND a very large living-room. Lots of common space. Also, there is a wonderful Strawberry Creek Park recently redone less than a block away for hang outs with friends.
And did I say that there is a hot-tub in the yard! The neighborhood is great because it is walking distance to two major streets that have lots of shops, pubs, restaurants, etc.
There is a small balcony for being outside observing and taking in the world.
There is a shared (small) yard that can house bikes, bbq, and outside places to chill. And did I also say Hot-tub? :)
