Features

Spacious and sun drenched bungalow just steps from North Berkeley BART! Rare 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with fabulous renovated chef's kitchen and true open floor plan. This traditional Spanish style home has a formal entry and living room with an original tiled fireplace. The expansive kitchen and dining areas allow more than one person to easily cook together, do homework at the bar, or set up a table for a crowd! The quality appliances, Fireclay tile accents, and loads of cabinet and counter space make this stylish kitchen a dream place to cook and hang out. 

All four bedrooms are generously sized, and both full baths have been beautifully renovated. The layout is extremely flexible, with two bedrooms downstairs, and two upstairs.  One of the upstairs rooms is oversized and has been used as a primary bedroom, guest space, home office space and also a great TV/ media area. 

There is an attached single garage and off-street parking.  A large workshop with easily accessible laundry area is perfect for storage and hobbies.  The secluded backyard has room to relax, garden and eat outdoors.  

Located just moments from the Ohlone Greenway and North Berkeley BART station, the next owner will rarely need their car.  1385 Virginia is within easy distance to so many of Berkeley's favorite areas and amenities.  Monterey Market and Westbrae Shops and restaurants are just to the north, while access to popular 4th street and Gilman shops, the Bay Trail and multiple parks are nearby too. UC Berkeley and the downtown commercial center are just east, and there are excellent transit options on University Ave., (BART), and San Pablo Ave.

Neighborhood

NORTHWEST BERKELEY
 
Welcome to where food lovers and restaurateurs come to shop and dine---The "Monterey Market", "Westbrae" and nearby "Fourth Street" and "Gilman District" areas are the literal meccas of excellent sources for the best local organic produce, fish and meat markets, morning bagels and bakeries, coffee houses and of course, a host of diverse restaurants.    Just around the corner one finds phenomenal bakeries, a thriving brewery scene (micro and large), pubs, bars and a great selection of grocery and specialty shops.  The brand new Boichik Bagel Factory is nearby offering bagels fresh from their ovens and many join the early lines at  ROTHA French Bakery for the freshest croissants in town. Nearby Fourth street offers a perfect destination for a classic breakfast at the Oceanview Diner to an amazing Japanese meal at Iyasare, or margarita's and mexican food at Tacubayo in the evening.  
The area is also known for fun and interesting street fairs and festivals throughout the year. The newly inaugurated Gilman District Faire just began its annual tradition. "First Fridays" near Gilman happens monthly and local wineries and and artists open their studios with locals enjoying food trucks, music and community.  There is a fantastic kite festival at Cesar Chavez Park on the bay, and the nearby parks at Cedar-Rose or the MLK track  host many year-round events. There is a public pool just up the road as well as the Ohlone Trail.  Several schools, parks and playing fields are found dotted in-between homes and shopping districts.

Living in the North Berkeley BART/Westbrae area makes it possible to be less dependent on your car for all kinds of activities, and the closeness to BART means the City, East Bay and airports are very accessible.

Home to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, Berkeley offers the intellectual and cultural stimulation from its campus -- which is within walking distance of downtown. Many Berkeley neighborhoods were established in the 1920s, with quiet, tree-lined streets, brown-shingled homes, and lushly landscaped yards. In Thousand Oaks, the original developers preserved ancient oak trees and left rock outcroppings intact. 

Neighborhood green spaces abound throughout Berkeley, from small community gardens to the Berkeley Rose Garden -- which boasts more than 3,000 rose bushes. The gem of the area is 2,000-acre Tilden Regional Park, with its miles of biking and hiking trails and the naturally landscaped swimming hole at Lake Anza.

working with nancy

I have a confession: After 25-plus years, I love my job more than ever, even as the Bay Area market has gone through dramatic changes. Maybe because of that, connecting each Client to the right property still holds my full attention and fascination. I work hard to match people and places by knowing both really well. I keep a level head, but keep in mind hopes and dreams. I’m an upbeat and enthusiastic advocate for each of my many long term and repeat Clients. Your particular real estate challenge is what fuels me, and after decades of hands-on experience, I know how to get the job done. I’ve been told I’ve got intelligence and wit - so I will make sure you are informed and protected throughout your important transaction, striving to make the end-result a joyful occasion. I’ve lived and raised my family in the East Bay since 1985, and have been involved in a multitude of local community activities -- schools, sports, charities and the arts. I love a good design or remodel project, and bring my knowledge to the table when my Clients evaluate properties. I pride myself on knowing our local market, from all sides, really well. My background has set me up for success -- I attended UCLA and UC DAVIS, graduating with a degree in Economics. My many long-term friends have exposed me to (their) ART, WINE, MUSIC, TRAVEL, SCIENCE, and DESIGN...and my broad real estate clientele have done the same. I can’t believe how lucky I am to continue to make these wonderful connections who truly fuel my work. Giving is important to me. I volunteer or donate to organizations related to Public Schools, housing and local food programs, local and overseas groups seeking to end human trafficking, climate action groups, Wounded Warrior Project and Medicins sans Frontiers During my downtime, I support as many varied, live, local performances as possible, and try to keep my own hand in performing too -- singing anything with a great groove! I love remodeling homes, practicing French, and listening to Korean hip hop. (Really). I’m also a movie nut, frequent traveller, and a super-fan of the English Premier League. All these elements have made me a successful and award-winning Realtor® in the Berkeley - Oakland area since 1989. Please take a look at how I work and what others have said. I hope we can work together -- great good things will come from it!
