If you've been hoping for perfect condition in Berkeley, this is it; rebuilt from the studs out and significantly expanded in 2022, 1609 Kains was thoughtfully designed by an award winning local architect, balancing modern design, "smart" amenities, and hyper-optimization of space. Upon entry, you'll find a generous foyer, with a smartly designed drop zone to stash daily essentials. Enter the open concept living/dining space, sporting custom media wall and built-in speakers. Look over to the designer kitchen, with induction range, app-controlled double oven, appliance garage, and french doors for effortless indoor/outdoor flow. On this level is an efficient half bath with designer finishes. Upstairs, find a stunning primary bedroom, with en-suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, & a bonus/office space. Two additional bedrooms, with vaulted ceilings, custom closets & a full bathroom are on this level, as well as a balcony. And finally, the rooftop deck, with gorgeous hillside views; all three outdoor spaces are connected by a spiral staircase. This home is the definition of turn-key; highly intentional, impeccably designed, and sited in beloved Westbrae with restaurants, cafes and parks just outside your door. Home energy score = 10.
