Quintessential Bungalow

∎

Live authentically “Berkeley” in this spacious 1918 Bungalow, located conveniently alongside the gourmet district where the famed Alice Waters created farm-to-table cuisine and edible schoolyards. Imagine taking a class at the Bar Method and then grabbing strawberry toast from Caffeinated Coffee. Next stop: Cheese board for fresh bread and artisanal cheese for a picnic at Live Oak Park. Chez Panisse is for fancy, but Gregoire and Epicurious Garden are great for grab-and-go. This is just a sample of offerings in this world-class neighborhood.

Quintessential craftsmanship grounds your home base. A rocking chair-worthy front porch opens into the gracious foyer of rich gumwood details. The layout begs to entertain with a huge living room and ample light-filled dining room. Architectural details abound with more gumwood wainscotting, hardwood floors, built-in display cabinets, and tray ceilings. The updated eat-in kitchen is replete with a commercial-style range and quartz counters. A large main floor bath compliments the three light-filled bedrooms of the main house. The upper bedroom showcases views of San Francisco and the Bay Bridge.

Over time, we imagine the lower level has hosted students from UC Berkeley and visitors from across the globe. With two additional kitchens and two more bathrooms, two units are easily imagined. There are several additional lower-level rooms with abundant opportunity. Connected by an interior stairway, these rooms can be utilized by the main house, or accessed through separate entrances.

The expansive backyard offers a wonderful space for outdoor living. A large concrete patio is perfect for alfresco dining, while the lush lawn and dedicated planting areas create a peaceful oasis for gardening, playing, or simply unwinding in nature. This home offers a premier location, timeless charm, and abundant potential.
