Whimsical, flexible, and genuinely magical,

Perched in the Berkeley hills, this classic North Berkeley bungalow blends Spanish Mediterranean character with a distinctive, whimsical spirit all its own. Step inside to gracious formal living and dining rooms, anchored by a raised, beautifully designed fireplace and enriched by lovely wall and window details, with warm hardwood floors throughout. A generous deck just off the living and dining rooms opens to sweeping views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge, the kind of setting that makes morning coffee or an evening sunset feel like a ritual worth savoring.

The home flows naturally from its elegant formal spaces into a remodeled kitchen with a wonderfully generous pantry. Outside, a meandering garden unfolds across an unusually large lot, part formal, part whimsical, and always enchanting. Seasonal plantings reveal new surprises throughout the year, while a winding path leads to a private seating area that feels like its own artistic little oasis, perfect for leisurely weekend barbecues, entertaining friends, or quiet evenings surrounded by the garden.
And then there is the lower level, a true point of difference. The entire floor can function as a private primary retreat, complete with its own office, spacious bathroom, and an exceptional primary suite tucked peacefully away from the rest of the home. Or reimagine the space as a lower-level in-law unit or au pair retreat: private, quiet, and generously proportioned, with a sense of independence all its own. It is a wonderfully flexible space that can adapt to the way you live, something few homes can offer.

The Location
740 Keeler Avenue sits in the North Berkeley hills, close enough to walk to a bus stop yet tucked away with that sought-after hillside quiet. This is classic North Berkeley living, minutes to the shops, cafes, and Saturday morning energy of Solano Avenue, an easy stretch to Monterey Market and the Gourmet Ghetto, and close to the trails and open space of Tilden Regional Park and Indian Rock Park. UC Berkeley, downtown Berkeley, and easy access into San Francisco are all within reach, making this a rare combination of hillside retreat and everyday convenience.

740 Keeler Avenue is ready for its next chapter.

Why Berkeley?

Tucked in the heart of Berkeley, North Berkeley blends academic energy, natural beauty, and small town charm. Just north of Downtown and west of the UC Berkeley campus, this neighborhood offers a coveted mix of tranquility and vibrancy, making it a favorite not only among students but also long time residents, artists, and food lovers.

Nature, Parks and Outdoor Life
North Berkeley is spoiled with green spaces. You'll find the stunning Berkeley Rose Garden nearby, a terraced amphitheater blooming with thousands of roses and panoramic views of the Bay, including the Golden Gate Bridge. Just across the street is Codornices Park, where you can race down a concrete slide with a piece of cardboard and follow the creek trail under old stone bridges.
A short drive (or invigorating bike ride) up the hill leads to Tilden Regional Park, a sprawling oasis of hiking trails, the beloved Little Farm (bring celery to feed the goats!), Lake Anza, a summer swimming hotspot, and even a vintage carousel.

Foodie Heaven
North Berkeley is internationally known for its culinary legacy. It's the birthplace of California cuisine, thanks to Alice Waters' legendary Chez Panisse on Shattuck Avenue. Alongside it in the famed Gourmet Ghetto, you'll find local favorites like:
  • Cheeseboard Collective, worker owned pizzeria and bakery with live jazz and rotating daily pies
  • Grégoire, French takeout with flaky potato puffs that locals dream about
  • Saul's Deli, classic Jewish deli with modern twists
  • Nico's 1508, upscale yet cozy, with an incredible brunch menu
  • Via Del Corso, tucked away spot with handmade pasta and neighborhood feel

Shops, Cafes and Community Life
Solano Avenue is nearby, full of neighborhood boutiques, indie bookstores, Vanessa's Bistro for Vietnamese fusion, and even the Oaks Climbing Gym if you're up for a bouldering challenge. Northbrae Bottle Shop offers curated wines, and Monterey Market is a produce lover's paradise with a cult following.
On Thursdays, stop by the North Berkeley Farmers' Market for organic veggies, fresh bread, and local cheese. And don't miss the community charm at Live Oak Park, where festivals and open air Shakespeare performances light up summer nights.

Getting Around
With BART just blocks away and AC Transit routes crisscrossing the neighborhood, North Berkeley makes commuting a breeze. Whether you're headed to campus, downtown Oakland, or San Francisco, this location is hard to beat.
