John Hudson Thomas Masterpiece with Sweeping Bay Views —A Rare and Walkable North Berkeley Estate
Perfectly nestled in one of North Berkeley’s most cherished and walkable neighborhoods, 1130 Shattuck Avenue is a coveted architectural masterpiece by the legendary John Hudson Thomas, and an unforgettable home. From morning coffee overlooking the Golden Gate to cozy evenings beside the iconic fireplace, this unique Arts & Crafts gem offers a rare blend of historic beauty and everyday comfort.
Influenced by the Viennese Secessionist movement, 1130 Shattuck balances old-world craftsmanship with thoughtful updates. The iconic front porch and arched entrance provide a warm welcome, leading to grand living- and dining rooms richly trimmed with warm wood and flooded with natural light. Both flow to an expansive Western deck with Bay and Golden Gate views, hosting everything from family brunches to music and dancing under the stars.
Set on a spacious lot in the lower Berkeley Hills just a few blocks from Live Oak Park and Chez Panisse Restaurant, this 6+ bedroom, 4.5 bath residence unfolds across four full floors, offering flexibility for every lifestyle.
The attic retreat, complete with its own balcony and panoramic views of the Golden Gate, provides a cozy hideaway for family movie nights – or a quiet space for reading, writing, and watching sunsets over the Bay. The main floor’s gracious entry, living, and dining rooms are complimented by a beautifully updated kitchen and a library/office/playroom facing the front garden and patio. The second floor, with a generous landing, master suite, two bedrooms, and a cozy office perched above the entry is richly trimmed with warm wooden arches and unique architectural details.
Guests have their own private space — a bright and spacious two-bedroom in-law with separate entrance and kitchen area, opening to a patio, lemon trees, and vegetable beds. This expansive lower level can serve as an art or au-pair studio, playroom, or work-from-home suite for creative and professional pursuits.
The entire home and property are richly detailed with John Hudson Thomas’ intricate forms and trims, including patterned, multi-paned hand-blown glass windows and arched, redwood-lined doorways. The home is wrapped in Hudson Thomas’ signature stucco-over-Old-Growth-Fir frame, with canted walls, deep eaves, and integral copper gutters.
A part of North Berkeley’s living history, 1130 Shattuck’s extensive updates and amenities – all carefully rendered to compliment the home’s strong architectural personality, ensure contemporary and family living with ease, comfort, and elegance.
Walking distance from the UC Berkeley campus, the Rose Garden, Northbrae Library, and the Monterey Market, and just moments from Live Oak Park and the iconic Chez Panisse Restaurant and Cheese Board, this location offers a rare combination of outstanding architecture, Bay and Golden Gate views, and neighborhood walkability; the very best of Berkeley at home, and just outside your door.
