Berkeley: Can’t Get Enough Of Those Views

When five out of the six rooms in your home have “breathtaking” views, it’s understandable that you might choose to feature photos of those views in the ad you take out to sell your home.

Nevertheless I think potential buyers want to see a picture of the house itself too — something that’s missing in this FSBO Craigslist listing for a 2/1.5 Mediterranean in the north Berkeley hills which is being offered at $950,000.

The home comes with a 1,000 sq ft deck, vegetable garden, recently installed hardwood floors and a new tile roof.

It’s near the intersection of Kentucky Avenue and Michigan Avenue which means it’s close to Step One Nursery School and within striking distance of Cragmont Elementary school.

Its “walkability” score is 46. But this is misleading. A Peet’s Coffee shop may be just 0.86 miles away, but remember that’s all very much uphill one way.
