From new laundry hookups (2026) to the upgraded electrical systems, the house features countless little quality-of-life human touches. Note the details like new, custom-designed built-in bookshelves in the bedroom (2026), the hand-painted ceramic outlet covers that give a splash of color in the kitchen, and the raised-bed herb garden in the yard; the classic Berkeley tile in the kitchen, vintage light fixtures in the bedroom and living rooms, and updates focused on blending utility while respecting the character of the building and community. You've heard it before, but this TIC condo really does live like a single-family home. It only shares one wall with a neighbor, has access to yard space for four-legged friends as well as barbecuing and gardening, and it has its own deeded parking space.

Look around, then come visit and put us to the test. You will see that this is You will see that this is how you want to live your life!
