Wake up to warm morning light flooding through generous windows, moving across wide-plank wood floors that stretch through every room of this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom West Berkeley home. The high ceilings amplify the sense of space, creating an openness that feels rare at this price point — yet the carefully chosen tones and textures keep everything grounded and genuinely cozy. This is a home that lives larger than it looks, and settles around you in a way that's hard to put into words until you've spent a morning here. Designed to feel as good on a quiet Sunday as it does when you're hosting friends, it strikes that elusive balance between elevated and lived-in. Every detail has been considered with daily life in mind.

The principal bedroom features a custom closet designed for versatility and ease, so your space stays organized without feeling like work. Throughout the home, storage is thoughtful and plentiful, tucked in where you need it and invisible where you don't. The building was designed by respected Berkeley architecture firm Rempel + Lao, and the bones show: generous volumes, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of natural light that fills every corner. A private secured entrance and dedicated parking spot provide everyday convenience and peace of mind. Step outside to your private back deck — a quiet outdoor retreat with real potential for container gardens, herb boxes, or a cozy al fresco dining corner tailored entirely to your taste.
