About This Property

In the heart of North Berkeley, this exceptional Craftsman offers more than a desirable address—it offers a way of life. Just moments from the Cheeseboard, Chez Panisse, and the vibrant shops and cafés that define the neighborhood, it captures the warmth, character, and sense of belonging that make people fall in love with Berkeley in the first place. Original Craftsman details greet you at every turn: rich hardwood floors that run from room to room, high ceilings that give every space room to breathe, and the kind of natural light that makes the woodwork, built-ins, and architectural details glow throughout the day. The refreshed kitchen flows seamlessly into a comfortable sitting room, creating the heart of the home. It is the place where conversations linger after dinner, homework gets finished at the table, friends gather, and everyday moments become the ones you remember. The primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with an ensuite bath and private deck that provides a peaceful place to start the day or unwind in the evening. Additional flexible spaces provide room for a home office, creative pursuits, guests, or whatever the next chapter requires. A fully independent in-law unit with its own bedroom and bath adds exceptional versatility, whether for extended family, visitors, or future possibilities. Behind the charm, the important work has already been done. The upstairs bathrooms, electrical and plumbing systems have been updated with permits, there are no galvanized pipes (in the main house), the water heater has been updated, and the roof was done in 2017. Working on BESO certification. The kind of thoughtful stewardship that allows the next owner to spend less time worrying about projects and more time enjoying the home. Outside, the garden feels like a secret garden. Fruit trees, blueberries, and raspberries are woven among mature plantings that offer beauty and abundance throughout the seasons. A generous deck extends the living space outdoors, while the oversized garage provides room not only for cars, but also for hobbies, storage, projects, and the practical needs of everyday life. Some homes ask you to compromise. This one offers character without sacrifice, charm without deferred maintenance, and a location that people spend years hoping to call home.
