In 1986, a prolific neighborhood artist began a lifetime of memories in this airy Berkeley Bungalow. Over four decades, this home served as a sanctuary where she raised her family, nurtured her craft, & poured her soul into every corner. 2220 Acton is more than just a house; it is a living canvas now ready for its next chapter. Stepping inside this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Berkeley Bungalow, you are greeted by natural light & beautiful period details. The living room features a cozy fireplace that adds warmth & character. Adjacent lies the formal dining room, boasting built-in cabinets & hardwood floors that offer an inviting backdrop for memorable gatherings. The bright kitchen features ample storage, a new refrigerator, & a freshly updated countertop, sink, & faucet. Both serene bedrooms are positioned at the rear of the home, facing the deep yard. The bathroom features a classic clawfoot tub & shower, allowing you to freshen up in vintage style. Tucked off the kitchen, a spiral staircase leads down to the finished basement rooms. Once bustling with art supplies, this versatile area also offers laundry facilities & plenty of extra storage space. Further enjoy peace of mind with practical infrastructure upgrades, including an updated electrical panel & newer roof. The beautifully landscaped yard is designed for effortless outdoor entertaining or quiet summer evenings. The attached garage is a creator's dream, equipped with ample track lighting to display artwork, alongside a 220v outlet once installed to power a pottery kiln. From the finished basement, French doors open to a new patio. Follow the flagstone path deeper into the yard, where the historic family redwood tree provides a majestic canopy of shade. Cultivate your own farm-to-table lifestyle with raised garden beds perfect for vegetables, surrounded by fresh plantings that invite the local bees & butterflies.
