Located in the Poet's Corner neighborhood in Berkeley, this is a unique, 2 bedroom cottage with a detached studio and interior courtyard surrounded by gardens, and conveniently located close to shops, cafes, restaurants, and the UC Berkeley Campus. It is a four-block walk to the North Berkeley Bart station and a 20-minute train ride to San Francisco.
There are a couple of cafes within a 10-minute walk, including the charming Hidden Cafe, located in Strawberry Creek Park (pictured above), as well as a Target store, also within a 10-minute walk, with a limited grocery selection and a pharmacy.
Owned by a husband and wife designer and writer, every room of the house has been designed and arranged to be comfortable, easy to live in, and attractive. The house is situated on a cul de sac which means that there is very little car traffic. There is a strong sense of community in the neighborhood.
