Located on a quiet and highly desirable stretch of Berkeley’s coveted Northbrae neighborhood, this exceptional 1915 traditional home combines timeless architecture with a beautifully renovated and light-filled interior. One of the larger homes in the neighborhood, the property offers rare scale, flexibility and an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living – all moments from some of North Berkeley’s most beloved amenities.
A deep welcoming porch introduces the home and leads into a spacious central gathering area that serves as both an elegant dining space and the heart of the home. The interiors are filled with natural light and characterized by oversized windows and doors, custom wood details, high ceilings and a warm farmhouse-inspired aesthetic that feels both sophisticated and inviting.
The thoughtful and highly flexible floor plan offers exceptional versatility for modern living.

Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a full bath, plus a separate office created from a former sun porch, offering wonderful flexibility for growing households, creative spaces or additional work-from-home needs. A secondary staircase and abundant storage further enhance the functionality of the home.

A detached former garage has been thoughtfully converted into a spacious office, yoga studio or creative retreat, adding yet another layer of versatility to the property.

From this prime location, enjoy easy access to Solano Avenue shops and cafés, the Monterey Market district, parks, tennis courts, swimming pool, library, running track and North Berkeley BART. Quiet residential streets, beautiful historic homes and close proximity to both nature and urban amenities make Northbrae one of the East Bay’s most enduringly popular neighborhoods.

Neighborhood
Centered on Hopkins Street at the foot of the Berkeley Hills, this quiet, relaxed residential community consists of charming bungalows, California Craftsman homes, and English Tudors. Indian Rock, the largest example of the Northbrae rhyolite outcroppings in the neighborhood, is popular with climbers honing their skills.
Nearby green spaces include three-acre Cedar-Rose Park and Terrace Park. For those working on home horticulture projects, Berkeley Horticultural Nursery on McGee Avenue and Westbrae Nursery on Gilman Street offer advice, seeds, plants, and gardening tools.
Northbrae’s two-block long retail district may be small, but it is crammed with gourmet-food purveyors. It's possible to shop here like a European, going from store to store, purchasing everything you need for the week's dinner. Monterey Market (an institution for more than 50 years), Monterey Fish Market, Magnani Poultry, and Hopkins Street Bakery make Northbrae into a mecca for food lovers. Outdoor cafe Espresso Roma offers the opportunity to enjoy a latte in the glorious weather.
Northbrae is within walking distance to the North Berkeley BART and the North Branch of the Berkeley Public Library. Designed by noted Bay Area architect Julia Morgan in the early 20th century, the latter building is one of the most stunning civic structures in Berkeley.
