Opening home details…
The Marston Studio, built as a dance and theatrical studio, and designed by Eldridge Theodore "Ted" Spencer is one of the most picturesque cottages in Berkeley. Its exquisite, dramatic architecture has been called "Elizabethan", but it feels both medieval and California modern with its wall of intricately leaded glass windows overlooking the formal, enclosed garden/patio. The Great Room's vaulted beams, loft for musicians and half-timbered plaster and wood ceiling is truly dramatic. Over the entrance to the dining room (a slightly raised "stage" crying for thespians) is a charming, stenciled gable end, lovingly created by Jennette Spencer. The bedroom features a raised fireplace, window seat framed by leaded glass windows, and other nooks and crannies. An elegant period bathroom was done in black, green and white tile. These fine details and craftsmanship mark this as a very special project, both in style and execution, for the Marston family. ________________________________

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.
No earlier records were returned by our current sources. This does not mean the home has never sold.
