1401 Walnut ST #1B Berkeley, CA 94709

Rare opportunity to own a spacious, light-filled North Berkeley 2BD/2BA condo in an iconic 1960s elevator-serviced building, just one block from Berkeley's covered Gourmet Ghetto. 1401 Walnut Street #1B greets visitors with a large and bright living room/dining room combination with fireplace, custom built-ins, and a spacious private balcony overlooking the neighborhood. Nearby is a large eat-in kitchen with breakfast area, office space, and easy access to the exterior. And down the hall are two quiet bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a large primary suite with walk-in closet and primary bath, and a 2nd BD with balcony access. One car deeded parking in a secure garage, a dedicated storage space, and access to the building's attractive rear patio and pool, a rarity for Berkeley, are included with the sale. Fresh paint and new carpeting run throughout this vintage classic ready to be lived in now, or updated to the next owners' tastes. Ideally situated just blocks from Berkeley's best cafs, restaurants, markets, and shops, including Peets Coffee, Chez Panisse, the Cheese Board, and Monterey Market, as well as just across the street from the Berkeley JCC and minutes from UC Berkeley, BART, bus and freeway access. A rare blend of space, comfort and convenience.
