1211 Blake St

Open Houses Sat/Sun 1-4pm Aug 29 & 30th. Car-optional living meets top-rated schools in West Berkeley. With a 90 Walk Score and 92 Bike Score, daily errands here don't require a car — and Oxford Elementary, rated 9/10 by GreatSchools, is just two minutes away on foot. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, this 1922 Berkeley charmer sits on Blake Street with a detached garage and a layout full of potential — envision opening up the floor plan into a great room, with a primary suite offering its own en suite bathroom. Ready for updating, this is the kind of home where a little vision goes a long way. San Pablo Park is just two blocks away for tennis, the pool, and open green space, with Strawberry Creek Park also under half a mile. Restaurants and cafés line San Pablo Avenue and Dwight Way close by — think Tipsy Yeti and Lao Garden — and grocery runs are easy to Berkeley Bowl West and Sprouts. Fourth Street shopping and Aquatic Park are just a short drive off. Quick freeway access via Highway 80 is just a half mile away, with nearby AC Transit and Ashby BART making for an easy commute into San Francisco or over to UC Berkeley. A wonderful place to call home in one of Berkeley's most connected neighborhoods.
