About This Home
From the moment you arrive, this timeless Craftsman feels both beautifully preserved and wonderfully current, combining the architectural character of an earlier era with a host of thoughtful updates, rich colors and distinctive wallpaper that give the home warmth, style and personality.
Classic Craftsman details unfold throughout the gracious formal rooms, with pocket doors, original built-ins, coffered ceilings, plate rails and wainscoting creating an unmistakable sense of craftsmanship and history. Rather than feeling overly formal, these vintage elements are complemented by a fresh, sophisticated palette and carefully chosen finishes that make the interiors feel inviting, spirited and completely at home in the present day.
The extensively remodeled kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional, with marble countertops and subway marble backsplash, a farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry and top-quality appliances, including a Bertazzoni five-burner gas range. A charming adjoining nook provides the perfect spot for casual meals, morning coffee or a convenient home office.
Two comfortable bedrooms are served by a stylishly updated full bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower and floating marble vanity. An additional half bath adds another layer of convenience and reflects the many thoughtful improvements made to the property over time.
Outside, the mature rear garden is a delightful surprise and a true urban oasis. Lush plantings create a private, peaceful setting with wonderful spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening or simply relaxing in the California sunshine. Adding even more versatility is the beautiful detached studio/garage. Filled with potential, this inviting bonus space offers endless possibilities as a home office, art or design studio, gym, workshop, music room or creative retreat, while retaining the flexibility of garage use.
And then there is the location. Just blocks from vibrant College Avenue, the home puts an exceptional collection of neighborhood amenities close at hand, from beloved cafés and restaurants to specialty shops, markets and everyday conveniences. BART and UC Berkeley are also easily accessible, making this an ideal home for anyone who values both neighborhood life and effortless connectivity. Timeless architecture, thoughtful updates, flexible bonus space and a lovely garden sanctuary come together in one irresistible package. This is a home with genuine soul and personality, offering the rare combination of Craftsman charm and modern livability in one of the East Bay's most convenient and sought-after locations.
