2008 Francisco Street is an exquisite, design-forward, modern take on the iconic North Berkeley brown shingle featuring an open floor plan, soaring high ceilings, abundant natural light, contemporary finishes, a high-end kitchen, two gas fireplaces, and creative use of space providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. This 2 bedroom/1.5 bath architectural gem is tucked away on a quiet, charming block with numerous nearby shops and restaurants of Berkeley’s famed Gourmet Ghetto, the UCB campus, top performing schools, parks, and recreation just outside your door. Transportation options are many, including the Downtown Berkeley BART station within a half mile. The private spaces are on the light-drenched 2nd floor, including two bedrooms, a study, and a luxurious primary bathroom equipped with a Japanese-inspired soaking tub. Two decks expand the usable footprint and pull everyone outdoors to enjoy a well-deserved respite amid the low-maintenance gardens.
