Fresh and totally renovated (work completed in March '21) top-floor residence, set on two stories. Upstairs is an open floor plan including the kitchen, dining area, living room and half-bathroom, with a lovely fireplace and hardwood floors throughout. Downstairs are two large bedrooms (one with an en-suite bathroom), in-home laundry and ample storage space. This home has never-used appliances (installed in 2021), quartz kitchen countertops, fresh cabinetry, bathroom fixtures. Even the walls and ceilings were refinished. Both levels of the home have a balcony that opens out to sweeping scenic vistas of the East Bay hills. Half a block away is Piedmont Avenue with its many shops, restaurants and services. You'll find access to commute options and the highway 580 on-ramp just a few blocks further. Kaiser Hospital and medical buildings are also within a few blocks. "Centrally located" doesn't get more central than this, yet this home is peaceful, set off the street - a wonderful retreat.
