Property Description

Built at the turn of the century in the heart of North Berkeley, this classic Arts and Crafts brown shingle masterfully blends historic charm with modern refinements like radiant heat and a newer foundation. The interior is defined by rich redwood trim, intricate wainscoting, and original fireplaces, featuring a sun-drenched kitchen with custom Douglas fir seating and a "secret" office hidden behind a discreet door. A grand staircase leads to three spacious bedrooms and a flexible sleeping porch with bay views, while the lower level provides a generous family room, workshop, and ample storage. Outside, the property transforms into a magical garden sanctuary of stone paths and wisteria, complete with a detached creative studio, a whimsical tortoise habitat, and an ingenious EV charging arm for street parking—all just steps from the University and world-class dining.
