Nestled on a picturesque one-block lane in Upper Rockridge, this classic Monterey Colonial has been in the same family for over 55 years. This stately Traditional enjoys lovely views in all directions from sun-drenched rooms that sparkle from newly refinished hardwood floors. The living room enjoys a beamed ceiling, center fireplace flanked by built-ins and abundant natural light from front and back windows. An adjacent dining room features views of the surrounding hillside and Berkeley skyline. The generous eat-in kitchen is the hub of the home and opens to a private deck, the spot for outdoor grilling, entertaining and dining under the stars. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths including a primary suite. Huge downstairs with windows, proper ceiling height, an office and laundry room. The fenced backyard has a patio and level lawn for play. Located only a mile to the fine groceries at Village Market and close to Montclair Village, Rockridge, freeway access, BART and UC Berkeley.
