1294 Delaware St, Berkeley, CA 94702

Step into a sanctuary of bromeliads, bamboo and tropical splendor in the heart of northwest Berkeley! The home was renovated throughout in the 2000's by its landscape/artist owner, who upgraded many systems and created a magical back garden filled with rare and unique tropical plants.  Classic elements remain such as the beautiful hardwood floors and a coved ceiling in the living room.  The split level floor plan is perfect for today's lifestyles, with great separation of spaces and a modern kitchen opening to the back garden. Upstairs there are two generous bedrooms and a full bath surrounding a skylit central hall with high ceilings and storage closets. A large plus room is located downstairs, perfect as a guest room, home office or TV area with direct access to the garden.  There is a second full bath and laundry area here, and interior access from the attached garage.  Updates include radiant heat and double paned windows throughout, open kitchen with custom hardwood bar, generous cabinetry, tile flooring and counters. Newly constructed eco-friendly rear deck opens to garden with tile patio and stone walkways.  Ideal location just steps from the popular Ohlone Greenway and N. Berkeley BART.  Close to Monterey Market, 4th street and Gilman District shopping areas.
