Serenity, sunshine, and spectacular views
Tucked quietly away from the street in the heart of North Berkeley’s beloved Gourmet District, this beautifully renovated three-story townhome offers something increasingly rare: the energy and convenience of an extraordinary urban location paired with the privacy, tranquility, and generous proportions of a single-family home. From the moment you enter, the home feels bright, polished, and wonderfully serene. Freshly updated with sophisticated new finishes, gleaming hardwood floors, new carpeting, fresh paint, and fixtures bring a crisp, contemporary sensibility to the home while preserving the warmth and character of its architecture. Expansive windows invite abundant natural light throughout the day, while balconies and garden outlooks create an effortless connection to the outdoors.
The main living level is designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The cozy living room centers around a fireplace and opens directly to a beautifully private Zen garden, a peaceful and private setting for morning coffee or relaxed evenings with friends. The dining room has its own connection to the outside, with a sunny deck out front. Despite being in the heart of one of Berkeley’s most vibrant neighborhoods, the home feels remarkably removed from the city around it.
Two comfortable bedrooms provide an ideal separation between public and private spaces, while the sun-filled top floor is an unexpected showstopper. This wonderful Primary Suite retreat opens to its own private balcony with dramatic views across the Bay to San Francisco. It is a spectacular place to wake up to, work, read, create, or watch the city lights emerge at the end of the day. Multiple outdoor spaces extend the living experience beyond the interiors, while in-unit laundry, excellent storage, and dedicated covered garage parking add the practical conveniences that make everyday living easy.
And then there is the location. Step outside and some of Berkeley’s most iconic destinations are practically at your doorstep. Within blocks, there’s Chez Panisse, the Cheese Board, the original Peet’s Coffee, neighborhood markets, cafés, boutiques, and restaurants. Live Oak Park, with its art center, playground, and lighted tennis and basketball courts, is just moments away, as is UC Berkeley. The SF Transbay bus stops at the end of the block, making San Francisco remarkably accessible.
Set within an intimate four-unit HOA, the property combines a sense of community with exceptional privacy. It is sophisticated without being formal, urban without sacrificing tranquility, and beautifully updated without losing its warmth.
Come home, close the door, and leave the city behind, while having the very best of North Berkeley just steps away.

This popular Berkley neighborhood is known by at least a few names, including Gourmet Gulch, North Shattuck and Gourmet District. Located less than a mile north of Downtown Berkley, "Gourmet Ghetto" is often considered the birthplace and epicenter of California Cuisine.
The homes in the neighborhood range from well-preserved Victorian-style homes to bungalows and meticulously preserved Craftsmans, as well as newer homes. In fact, the eclectic mix of real estate in the Gourmet Ghetto garners so much attention, the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association conducts regular neighborhood tours in the area. Thanks to the nearby BART Station and central shopping district, the Gourmet District is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Berkeley.
Everything from Oakland to the bustling Downtown San Francisco area is less than an hour commute from this neighborhood. Oakland Medical Center is less than 20 minutes from the Downtown Berkeley BART Station and residents can be at Google’s headquarters in less than 45 minutes. UC Berkeley is just a mile away, making Gourmet Ghetto a great place for students, faculty, and staff to call home.
Live Oak Park, located near Shattuck Avenue between Eunice and Rose Streets, is ideal for a variety of events and recreation. Amenities include basketball courts, a volleyball court, lighted tennis courts, picnic areas, and an open-air theater which hosts children’s plays and Shakespearean productions. Just east of Live Oak Park is the Berkeley Art Center, which proudly displays a variety of exhibits, art openings, and lectures.
Alice Kahn first used the phrase “Gourmet Ghetto” over 40 years ago. The strip of Shattuck Avenue between Cedar and Vine streets is anchored by Alice Waters’ world-famous Chez Panisse Restaurant & Café, The Cheese Board Collective, and the original Peet’s Coffee & Tea. Each of these restaurants have been icons in the neighborhood for decades and there’s no sign of them slowing down anytime soon. Simply put, the area is a laid-back mecca for those who want to eat, drink, and live well. Simply put, the area is a laid-back mecca for those who want to eat, drink, and live well.
