Home – Garden – Neighborhood
A River (actually Codornices Creek) Runs Through It
Located in a magical creekside setting on a much desired tree lined street in Berkeley’s historic Northbrae neighborhood, this wonderful two story home is near the North Berkeley Library, Monterey Market/Hopkins St. shopping area, and upper Solano’s shops and restaurants. Truly, it is one of Berkeley’s loveliest properties.
This can be your very own back garden-park: a flagstone terrace and built-in seating look out onto a serene wooded park; soothing sounds of falling water down steep rock-lined creek walls; a narrow bridge; a peaceful haven filled with birds, mature trees and greenery.
