Fantastic and rare live/work space balances your 2020 work-life challenge with light and beauty! Fully separated levels let you leave workday cares behind. Yet, so stunningly crafted you’ll want to nest and entertain even during off-hours.

The upstairs floor hosts two bedrooms, a living area, a kitchen, and a full bath. High ceilings flood sunlight through skylights and clerestory windows. A generous enclosed patio nearly doubles the entertaining area.

The expansive lower level space has great walls for art, theater, or display. It's fitted with an ADA bathroom, stubbed out for an additional work/entertaining sink, and offers a separate sidewalk entry. Tension cables reduce the need for nails when artwork is frequently changed. This open space easily sections off loft-style for a multitude of functions. Well-placed windows tucked toward high ceilings keep much of the space private from the street. This lower sanctuary culminates in a tranquil private garden.

The vibrant West Berkeley Neighborhood is a mecca for visual and culinary arts.  Delectable meals can be discovered nearby at Standard Fare and 900 Grayson. Culinary fusion takes pastry form at Third Culture bakery. The best of local natural foods can be procured nearby at Berkeley Bowl. Convenient to highways and public transportation, the location is perfect for enjoying the immediate neighborhood and accessing the greater Bay Area.
