your East Bay Realtor
I went to a very interesting presentation at the Oakland Berkeley Association of Realtors last week on homelessness in the two cities. The panel featured the current Mayor of Berkeley, Jesse Arreguin, Berkeley City Council Member, Sally Hahn, and Oakland Assistant to the City Administrator, Joe DeVries. Here is the infographic from the meeting.

Lovingly and meticulously restored, the bathroom boasts modern plumbing and fixtures in period style including tank-with-chain-pull toilet and claw foot tub. The kitchen and separate laundry room are updated with contemporary appliances and durable custom concrete countertops that provide 21st century convenience while harmonizing with the look of this turn-of-the-20th-century abode. Easy flow between the spacious living room and formal dining room invite entertaining. An as-yet undeveloped attic space offers options for future expansion.
From the kitchen, a pair of French doors opens onto a secluded, sunny deck and charming garden, with an enormous garage/artist studio/shop space behind. A craftsperson’s dream, this fully-renovated structure is two stories tall and wired for 210-voltage. Double swing-doors in front and a large roll-up door along the back wall provide entry/exit for two cars or other vehicles, furniture, equipment, and projects, as well as additional ventilation.
Attached to the garage/studio, a separate unit with kitchenette and bathroom provides yet another location for work or artistic endeavors and/or accommodates visiting family and friends.
