The upper level is a combination bedroom/sitting room suite … with its own fireplace, full bath and shower, and a private deck with bay views.
And in the middle level – two more bedrooms (one for guests or your workspace, full bath, and washer/dryer)
Within just a few blocks of your new home is….

Working in San Francisco? The FS bus stops right across the street … and select buses have free Wi-Fi!. According the the AC Transit Web Site (http://www.actransit.org) it’s only about 30 minutes to the Trans Bay Terminal. Do you like morning coffee? Why not stroll to the Downtown Berkeley BART Station and stop at the French Hotel for Cappuchino along the way. It’s less than a mile to walk, and only a 20 minute or so BART ride. Check out http://www.bart.gov/ for details
