1511 Grant starts with a commanding presence on the street, clearly one of the oldest and largest homes on the block, circa 1898. A couch on the front porch welcomes a restful pause to enjoy the western exposure, the sunset, and a wave to neighbors passing by. Inside you are greeted with high ceilings and a large living room with working fireplace. Also note the wainscotting and a long run of picture rail to display your art and photographs. There is a side parlor (with baby grand piano, although not included) which then opens to the large formal dining room, which in turn is open to the stunningly remodeled kitchen featuring cherry wood cabinets, honed granite counters, a breakfast bar and top of the line GE Monogram appliances. The 6-burner gas stove has the extra convenience of a pot-filler spigot. There are also two sinks.
Lastly, while still on the main level, there is a half bathroom, a laundry room, a family room or guest bedroom and a full bath.
Heading upstairs, there is a wide hallway leading to five bedrooms, each with its own character and charm. The largest one faces west and provides great afternoon light. The smaller west-facing bedroom features its own working fireplace. There is one full bathroom on this level.
But wait: there's more! Head upstairs again to the huge, finished attic and find multiple uses possible, including various exercise and/or yoga stations, teen hangout or family room, lots of built-in storage, and finally, an alcove (with bed) providing unobstructed panoramic Bay views.
Now let’s not forget the basement. There are two large rooms, one set up as a workshop and the other for abundant storage.
The indoor/outdoor flow is seamless. French doors in the kitchen lead to the slate-tiled patio and large level yard and garden. There, find cherry, Meyer lemon, plum, apple and navel orange trees, as well as flower beds and room for veggies.
As for the neighborhood, the convenience can’t be beat. I would know because I live across the street! It’s an easy stroll to the Cheeseboard, Peet’s Coffee, Saul’s Deli, Chez Panisse (and the new Bar Panisse),Safeway and Andronicos, Monterey Market, King Pool, and the many other eateries and shops in the North Shattuck corridor. Also walkable is Trader Joe’s, Berkeley’s Downtown Arts District (i.e. Freight and Salvage music venue, Berkeley Rep theatre) and both the Downtown and North Berkeley BART stations, Lastly, the UC campus is also within quick reach.
