Own a Berkeley Gem

The essence of California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle is captured to great effect in this cozy, single-level three-bedroom Modern Farmhouse. Located in the heart of West Berkeley near the vibrant Fourth Street district, the residence makes an immediate impression with a contemporary gated front yard and a custom-crafted fence with integrated greenery.

The property has been thoughtfully updated, integrating some high-efficiency features like a modern heat pump system and dual pane windows to earn a 9/10 Home Energy Score. It’s also been well-maintained by the current owners, receiving $0 Section 1 clearance. 

Inside, the home is anchored by the organic texture of engineered wide plank European Oak floors, while contemporary updates like new designer lighting and modern black-trimmed casement windows flood the living spaces with natural light and clear sight lines. 

The updated chef’s kitchen achieves a thoughtful balance of old and new, blending 21st century features such as new shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel GE appliances. A sun-drenched eating area with a built-in corner banquette promises to be a centerpiece, where everyday meals can be shared. The thoughtful design continues into the full bathroom featuring a classic subway tile surround and charcoal hexagon floors for a sophisticated modern pop.

The layout is flexible enough to accommodate a variety of lifestyles: two bedrooms off the living area feature frosted glass barn doors at the closets, while a third bedroom provides a quiet retreat or workspace. Thoughtful storage is achieved through adjustable Elfa closet organizer systems throughout. 

The laundry room serves as a seamless transition to the outdoors, offering designer tile, ample counter space, and direct access to the rear yard. The expansive, sunny backyard is a private sanctuary for nature lovers, garden enthusiasts and outdoor entertainers, featuring low-maintenance and water-friendly manicured turf, gravel seating sections, and established fruit trees in a flat yard.

While the home offers contemporary styling and a modern Heat Pump AC system, its original architectural charm has been carefully preserved to honor the character of the neighborhood. With an exceptional 93 Walk Score and 94 Bike Score, you’ll be situated near Fourth Street shops, Rosa Parks School, and local favorites like Franklin Bros Market, Cafe Chiave, Anchalee Thai, and more. North Berkeley BART is also just a short distance away.

Neighborhood

West of San Pablo Avenue and east of the San Francisco Bay sits West Berkeley. Previously known as Ocean View, West Berkeley sits at an average elevation of just 23 feet. 

Historically an industrial area, West Berkeley now has plenty of commerce, anchored by the 4th Street district. Visitors to this part of the neighborhood will find dozens of shops, cafes, and restaurants. A number of businesses and eateries also line the Gilman Street corridor.

West Berkeley is home to the Berkeley Marina, McLaughlin Eastshore State Park, and horse-racing facility Golden Gate Fields -- all great places to enjoy a sunny afternoon. Interstate 80 offers a direct drive into San Francisco, and two local Alameda-Contra Costa Transit buses offer transbay service. The Delaware Street Historic District has many quaint houses and several city landmarks.
