Do you dream of a large, comfortable home just blocks from beloved San Pablo Park and the Berkeley Bowl? 1106 Russell is not just at the center of so much of what Berkeley has to offer but is generous and well appointed. The charming covered front porch leads to an open floor plan living and dining room rich with craftsman detailing. On this level find an ensuite bedroom which can also be used as a family room, office or guest suite. The kitchen, with charming island, flows to a mudroom and half-bath and onto the deck and yard. Upstairs are three more bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom is large enough for an office space or luxurious dressing room with two sets of sliding doors to a balcony that overlooks the action. Well loved and cared for, this home is close to shops, restaurants, gym and so much more. An elegant island of calm in the middle of it all. HES (BESO) score = 5.
