Imagine a home that's at once warm, modern and timeless: Welcome to 104 City Limits Circle! This North Oakland location at City Limits is just that—literally a stone's throw from both the Berkeley and Emeryville borders, enjoying the rich diversity of all three cities in one spot. This is a rare opportunity to own a sparkling, sunny home tucked away on a peacefully verdant lane, yet in the midst of it all.
This spacious tri-level townhome, designed by Berkeley architect Kava Massih for Pulte Homes in 2005, was just updated with high-end finishes. At street level is a two-car garage with room for storage or hobbies, space for a car charger, and interior access to the unit. From the pedestrian path flanked by lush, mature landscaping, enter your private front door and ascend to the main level: Here you'll find open plan living, flooded with light streaming in from both ends and framed by dramatic, black-framed industrial-chic floor-to-ceiling windows with leafy green outlooks. This level also features refinished hard-strand bamboo floors, an updated guest bath and an updated kitchen (September, 2023).
The centerpiece of the main level is the showstopper open kitchen, great for entertaining, with new MSI Premium Plus White quartz countertops with waterfall, new handmade Fireclay tile backsplash in Rosemary, and new stainless steel appliances: GE slide-in gas range/oven, range hood, Bosch 500-Series dishwasher, and Frigidaire French Door refrigerator, new LED undercabinet lighting, and original solid wood cabinets offering ample storage for all your cookware.
Reclaimed multi-hued hardwood stairs lead you to the top floor, with two primary bedroom suites, both with en suite bathrooms. The second bedroom has a Juliet balcony and could serve as an office and/or guest room.
Low HOA dues of $330/mo covers hazard insurance, common area maintenance, professional management and reserves. Owner pays their own utilities, water and trash/recycling fees.
Abundant transportation options include the free Emery-Go-Round Shuttle, Amtrak Emeryville, AC Transit transbay bus at San Pablo & 67th, Ashby BART, and nearby highways 80/580. It's just minutes to downtown SF by car depending on traffic.
NOBE Neighborhood
104 City Limits sits right at the crossroads of three vibrant neighborhoods: North Oakland, South Berkeley and Emeryville, offering a plethora of great restaurants, cafes, shopping, parks, gyms and schools, green spaces and other amenities. Just steps from your front door is the Emeryville Greenway, a lush urban trail on the site of former railroad tracks. Around the corner from here is full-service gym City Sports Club and John Muir Health/UCSF. Just a few blocks away you'll find the famed everything-grocery store Berkeley Bowl West and the nearby Ecole Bilingue. Berkeley's San Pablo Park is a few blocks away as well. Emeryville has a scenic marina and Bay Trail, and shopping and dining at Bay Street, The Public Market, West Elm & Ikea. The home of Pixar Animation Studios, Emeryville is also a well-known biotech industry hub. At City Limits, with a Walk Score of 93 (a Walker's Paradise) and Bike Score of 91 (a Biker's Paradise), going car-less is a distinct option. Add to that, the fun of discovering new places all the time!
