Welcome to the Pechin House. This 1909 historic Foursquare was designed by notable architect William Wharff. Located on one of North Berkeley’s beloved leafy streets, and in the Gourmet District, this home marries timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful updates. Enter from the columned covered porch into the paneled foyer with its original curved stained glass window. This leads to the living room with west-facing leaded glass windows. Beyond that, restored pocket doors reveal a formal dining room with a fireplace and built-in cabinetry. Nearby, a versatile study with French doors connects to the rear deck, while the bright, modern kitchen opens to the garden. A renovated full bath on the main level adds flexibility.
Upstairs, a wide hall with built-in seating leads to three generous bedrooms, an additional flex space or smaller bedroom, ample storage, a laundry area, and an updated bath. This home has wood floors, tall coved ceilings, and a stellar southern exposure that bathes the interiors in natural light throughout the day.
Beyond the main residence, discover the detached studio. Ideal as a guest retreat, creative workspace, or potential ADU, it has vaulted ceilings, skylights, French doors, and a cozy Irish stove.
The expansive, level backyard features a wrap around deck, wide lawn, a brick patio, raised veggie beds, and mature fruit trees. Solar and seismic upgrades among many other improvements, mean you can move in and relax. With a Walk Score® of 98, and energy score of 5, this home has it all and is just moments to top rated shops, dining, parks, schools and transit.

Neighborhood
Nestled in the foothills, North Berkeley is an incredibly peaceful residential neighborhood. It is a neighborhood where you can park your car, and leave it for weeks until you feel like taking a drive. All the fun and convenience of our local amenities are nearby. Homes in the neighborhood are built in a variety of styles and feature spacious patio decks, manicured lawns and lushly landscaped gardens.
North Berkeley residents can enjoy quick access to the greenbelt of regional parks. Nearby, Tilden Regional Park includes a beautiful botanical garden, the Little Farm, and nearly 40 miles of scenic hiking trails. Go for a swim at Lake Anza, take a spin on the Merry-Go-Round, or enjoy a round of golf at Tilden Park Golf Course.
Residents are within walking distance of the thriving retail district on Solano Avenue, North Shattuck (hello, Via Corso and Bar Panisse), and the vibrant theater and music scene in downtown Berkeley. Featuring a wide variety of stores, shops, and plenty of great restaurants, this is foodie paradise.
North Berkeley is also extremely transit-friendly. The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District bus lines that serve the neighborhood drop residents at the Downtown Berkeley BART station for a quick commute to downtown San Francisco. Berkeley also benefits from a network of bike friendly roads, Milvia foremost among them, so right outside the front door you will find access to the greater Bay Area's scenic bike paths and trails. Less than one mile away from the heart of UC Berkeley, this neighborhood is a great area for faculty and administrators to live.
