7 Virginia Gardens, Berkeley CA

1930s Bungalow nestled amid its own Redwood grove on a rare cul du sac in Central Berkeley. Modernized and smartly updated inside and out, the home opens into a light-filled, atrium-accented living room flowing into dining and designer-updated kitchen, with penny-tile back splash, Kovastone counters and stainless appliances. Restored period details, 3-panel doors, rounded window and door trim, and Craftsman-inspired mantel are accented by free form contemporary lighting. Random-plank, pegged hardwood floors and designer colors and finishes tie the look together. Split-level floorplan places 2 bedrooms and updated bath up. The tandem garage has been re-imagined to offer limitless possibilities for expanded living space, all-but finished with stained concrete floor and French doors open to rear patio area. New electrical, copper water supply lines, energy-efficient furnace and dual-pane windows complete this move-in ready home.
