No HOA fees at this easy, walkable/bikeable Berkeley living at 1119 Hearst. Tucked into a restored building of just three residences, this ground-floor home puts beloved shops, cafés, and markets right outside your door — with no stairs, low upkeep, and lock-and-leave ease. Inside, the rooms live larger than you'd expect: a bright, flowing layout, bamboo floors, French doors, a decorative fireplace, and a generous dining room made for long dinners or easy entertaining. The updated kitchen offers stone counters, stainless appliances, a breakfast bar, and a sunny greenhouse window. The bedroom sits quietly at the back, paired with an updated bath and fresh paint throughout. Step out to a private flagstone patio and drought-tolerant garden — all the charm, none of the maintenance. Classic Berkeley character, an unbeatable location, and effortless comfort. BESO exempt.
