Spectacularly magical garden bungalow on serene tree-lined Derby Street with detached casita. Grand redwoods, shady tree ferns, scented jasmine, flowering lavender and pollinating buds surround the home, creating a nature-inspired setting inside and out. Built in 1926, much of the vintage cottage charm remains, lovingly updated for over 25 years by the same owner. A large foyer opens to the sunny living room and dining room with french doors, warm fireplace, large windows and stylish lighting. The large eat-in kitchen flows easily out to the back deck overlooking the garden. With leafy green cabinets, gleaming subway tile backsplash and brass details, the design is undoubtedly nature-inspired. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, plus a basement laundry room with lots of storage. The detached casita is perfect as a home office, gym, or could be converted back to a garage. Fantastic location close to Berkeley Bowl, San Pablo Park, coffee and transit.
