1296 Monterey Ave isnt the kind of place you notice right away. Its tucked back behind another house, almost like it wants to stay a little hidden. Thats part of the charmonce you find it, you feel like youve discovered a little retreat. A creek runs nearby, adding just enough of that calming background sound to remind you nature is close, even in the middle of Berkeley. The living room is bright and spacious, with doors that open out onto a deck that feels like its perched in the trees. Surrounded by greenery and overlooking the creek, its the kind of spot where mornings start slow with coffee and evenings stretch long with friends. The 3 spacious upstairs bedrooms all have their own personality. One of them has this little nook that works just as well for a desk as it does for a play space. In addition theres a bonus room with wood paneling that feels like its been there foreverwarm, cozy, and perfect for late-night projects or curling up with a book. Downstairs, theres a huge bedroom with a half bath that could easily be turned into a roomy primary suite if you wanted. And while the house feels private, youre just a short stroll from Hopkins Street with its bakeries, markets, and cafs. Its that perfect balance of privacy and convenience.
