Westbrae

About 1209 Talbot Ave

Tucked into one of Berkeley’s most vibrant and convenient neighborhoods, this thoughtfully reimagined home is where modern comfort meets timeless charm. Imagine a quick jaunt to coffee and pastry down the street, perusing nearby shops, hanging out in the local beer garden and dining hotspots, and relaxing under your own garden trellis surrounded by lush plantings and grapevines.

Renowned Jarvis Architecture designed remodel, this house has warmth and style. The open-concept kitchen is a showstopper—custom touches, colorful accents, and high-end appliances make it a space that feels functional, friendly, and welcoming, perfect for morning pancakes or hosting friends for cocktails and dinner.

Beyond the kitchen, sunlight dances through a sweet dining/living room space that is so inviting. You’ll create many cherished memories with cozy gatherings or festive holidays. The dedicated office is a haven for focused work, or great as a spare bedroom, with its own private balcony. Also on the main level, there’s a bright spacious bedroom and a full bathroom (with a vintage clawfoot tub!). The lower level houses 2 more bedrooms, an open ‘steampunk’ style exposed pipes vibe, and a practical bathroom set-up, with the toilet, shower, and sink area separated for convenience and peace. The family room is that extra space for work and play and leads directly out to the yard. The lower level also has an extra storage area (wine room?) attached and a finished one-car garage—great for more stuff, exercise equipment, games, or just parking your car.

But the magic doesn’t stop indoors. The Robert Trachtenberg/Garden Architecture Landscaped backyard feels like your personal retreat: thoughtfully designed with flourishing plantings, grapevines, and a patio beneath a charming trellis. A circular seating area with lush surroundings to relax and catch up. Whether you’re hosting a garden party or simply soaking up some sunshine with a cup of coffee, it’s a space that makes life sweeter.

With modern systems throughout—plumbing, electrical, foundation, HVAC, and more—this home effortlessly blends classic Berkeley character with thoughtful updates for today's living. 

Close to shops, transit, parks, and more.
