Property Description
Celebrated architect Roger Lee designed this stunning home for Beverly Cleary, the famed children’s author. The current (and only second) owners have lovingly maintained the home for over 50 years, keeping the original details intact and even the original architectural plan set. This mid-century modern gem boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, with AMAZING VIEWS and incredible details throughout. The open floor-plan and level-in rear yard are perfect for entertaining. All of this sits on an enormous 15,960 sqft lot, providing ample space for gardening or outdoor activities. Situated in the coveted Berkeley Hills, this property offers the best of both worlds - tranquility and convenience. Just minutes to downtown Berkeley, Solano Ave and Cal, one can enjoy all that the area has to offer while still being able to retreat to a peaceful oasis. An architectural masterpiece in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Berkeley.

ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
