Room to bloom in this classic Berkeley retreat with its magical garden and an exceptional setting. This gracious single-level home pairs classic architectural character with wonderful indoor-outdoor living in a coveted location on the Elmwood/Rockridge border. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors and elegant period details enhance the spacious, sun-filled formal rooms. The inviting living room features beautiful trim and a classic fireplace, while the updated kitchen and adjoining laundry area open directly to the garden, making everyday living and entertaining effortless. The bedrooms are quietly tucked off the side hallway with an extra half bath. The exceptionally large, private lot extends all the way through to Bateman Street. A lush park-like rose garden, mature plantings, brick pathways and multiple seating areas create an enchanting backyard oasis, while the driveway provides rare off-street parking. A detached garden cottage, formerly the garage, offers additional flexible space with a half bath and is ideal as a workshop, office, studio or creative retreat. Private and peaceful, yet remarkably convenient to Elmwood/Rockridge shops, cafés and restaurants, Alta Bates, BART and commuter routes. Home Energy Score of 5.
