1703 Russell St

Reimagined bungalow, extensively and creatively remodeled in the 2000s by former architect-owners, including new foundation, electrical and plumbing. Built-in cabinets/shelves/nooks throughout stylishly maximize the functionality of the living space. Newly refinished wood floors; wood doors and windows and exposed joists add arch. detail, warmth and light. Sustainable materials include reclaimed wood, exposed plaster laths, and Richlite (resin-infused paper) counters. Huge finished attic loft, with skylights and windows opening onto a sunny roof deck, invites relaxation and creativity. A cozy breakfast room/den overlooks the shaded back yard w/magical playhouse, jacaranda & bamboo. The fenced, sunny front yard features a brick patio/grape arbor, fruit trees, roses & bougainvillea. 2 sheds (1 w/power) are perfect for bike storage, potting, or your passion. Ideally located on a Bicycle Boulevard, close to Berkeley Bowl, Grove Park, and Ashby BART. Truly a unique and inspiring property!
