Property Description

Vintage Charm Meets Modern Simplicity — A Unique Berkeley Cottage Tucked away in a serene 5-cottage community, this freestanding 1-bedroom home offers the rare blend of historic character, privacy, and ultra-low-maintenance living. Originally built in 1919 as part of a charming auto court, this petite gem is now part of a small condo association—but lives like a single-family home. No shared walls, no upstairs neighbors—just your own peaceful retreat in a lush garden setting. A cozy front porch welcomes you inside, where warm wood tones, clean lines, and timeless finishes create a sense of calm and character. Step outside into your private yard, a true extension of the living space. Enjoy morning coffee or summer evenings under twinkle lights, with space for lounging, gardening, or entertaining. There’s even a detached shed for extra storage or creative use. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, or minimalist seeking a peaceful base in the heart of Berkeley, this cottage offers soulful living with maximum independence and minimum fuss. ~https://www.DerbyStCottage.com/mls/176693806
