Property Description
Welcome to 1204 Neilson St, a 2 plus bedroom, 1 plus bath, Berkeley bungalow, that surprises and delights, and epitomizes charming. Traditional on the exterior as well as on the main level, yet the upper level is loft-like, rustic and expansive. The feeling of being in a beach cottage is evident throughout. The home invites you to sit back and relax. It is warm, cozy and cool. The main level features a spacious living room with hardwood floors, and a large front window, a charming eat-in kitchen with tile and butcher-block countertops and a wood beamed ceiling, a sun-filled bedroom with a huge closet, a full bath and a laundry area.

The office could serve as a nursery, a hobby room or more.

The block is coveted by the owners and all its residents and the location is a dream. One block away are a plethora of wonderful restaurants and shops, including Berkeley Natural Grocery, Adega Azul, Headlands Biergaten, Berkeley Bagel, Coffee Conscious, Kiku Sushi, Praaw Thai and more.
