Property Description

Located in a highly sought-after neighborhood, this classic Craftsman is full of character. Original details include built-in cabinets, rich wainscoting, and inviting fireplaces in both the living and dining rooms. The main level offers a bedroom with an ensuite bath—ideal for guests or a home office—while the upper-level features two spacious bedrooms, one with a sunroom and extra space perfect for a walk-in closet or private retreat. An internal staircase leads to a finished lower level with laundry, ample storage, and a workshop space. Step outside to a west-facing backyard bathed in natural light, perfect for gardening, and enjoy the kitchen-adjacent deck, nestled in the tree canopy with dappled sunset views. An older garage presents an exciting opportunity for repurposing—whether as a studio, workshop, or additional storage. With some structural TLC, this home has the potential to become truly special. Ideally situated near North Shattuck’s renowned restaurants, UC Berkeley, BART, and multiple commute options, this is a rare opportunity to restore a home with strong bones and timeless charm.
