Stunning Spanish Revival @ the Rose Garden

California flora and Spanish Revival charm meet in this refreshed 1920s split-level set near beloved Berkeley Rose Garden and Codornices Park. Mature native landscaping screens the property, creating a secluded and private setting. The home itself exudes warmth, character, and a blend of historic and modern elements. 

Inside, light-filled interiors provide a captivating canvas for Spanish-influenced details, from exposed wood beams to oversized arched windows, hand-applied textured plaster, and an original tiled wood-burning fireplace. The spacious living room is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, offering serene views of the front garden. Built-in alcoves, shelving, and a cozy bench enhance the room’s character, while original lighting fixtures preserve its historic charm.

Glass pocket doors lead into the formal dining room, where a built-in hutch with drawers and cabinetry adds elegance and function. A Juliet balcony invites fresh air and garden views, creating the perfect ambiance for intimate gatherings. Adjacent, a sunlit breakfast nook with a skylight flows into the thoughtfully remodeled kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, a tiled backsplash, and abundant cabinetry. High-end stainless steel appliances—including a five-burner gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator—pair with thoughtful design details like a spice drawer, trash drawer, and deep countertops for small appliances storage and effortless meal prep. A dedicated laundry room adds convenience with a folding counter, stacked washer/dryer, a utility closet, exterior access and a kitty cubby.

The upper level is home to a bathroom, built-in linen storage, and two well-appointed bedrooms including a primary suite with dual closets, and stunning Golden Gate views. A third upper-level bedroom brings its own allure with a brick fireplace, curved shutter windows, a private balcony, exposed beam ceilings, built-in storage, and peekaboo views of the Bay.

Downstairs, the lower level provides a flexible retreat—ideal as an office, guest suite, or creative space—complete with built-in shelving and storage. French doors open to a sun-drenched paver patio, where espalier fruit trees and lush mature plantings create a private oasis.
Both bathrooms have been designer-updated with new finishes, new tile, paint, and custom lighting. The upper-level bath features a thresholdless walk-in shower with built-in niches and a frameless glass enclosure, while the lower-level bath offers a deep soaking tub with a bench and a tiled shower. 

Set in prestigious North Berkeley Hills, this home offers a rare combination of tranquility, architectural charm, and prime access to some of Berkeley’s most treasured landmarks. Just half a mile from UC Berkeley and 0.7 miles from the famed Gourmet Ghetto shops and restaurants, it’s perfectly positioned for a life of both culture and convenience. Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Berkeley Rose Garden, one of Northern California’s finest, which bursts into full bloom each May and the East Bay Parks System.  The AC Transit bus line picks up on Euclid for easy commuting.
