There is also a large, detached garage (possible ADU?), extra storage and a long driveway. This home is an ideal project for anyone looking to invest in a vibrant neighborhood where community and convenience come together with nearby cafes, restaurants, shopping, access to transportation and all the trails and hiking in Mills College! This Easy Bay gem is ready for its and YOUR next chapter!
