Craftsman Bungalow + Detached Studio in the Golden Horseshoe
A dreamy front garden and porch set the tone for this 1911 bungalow, where early-century character meets thoughtful updates behind the walls. Step inside to a spacious entry and a sun-filled living room framed by beloved Craftsman trim and molding. The formal dining room, with its original built-ins, flows easily into the refreshed kitchen. There, a cozy breakfast nook and French doors open onto a deck and the garden beyond, the perfect spot for morning coffee and long summer dinners.
The main house offers two bedrooms and a full bath in approx. 1,015 sq. ft.*, plus a laundry room with attached storage. The big-ticket work is already done: full electrical replacement, updated ductwork, exterior shingle repair, and improved crawl space venting.
Out back, a detached studio cottage** holds a delightful surprise. It has loft ceilings, skylights, a full kitchen, and a bath, making it a wonderful space for visiting guests, a creative studio, or a home office.
Off-street parking and a 3,071 sq. ft.* lot round it out, all on a peaceful, tucked-away loop in the coveted “Golden Horseshoe.”, a U-shaped pocket where Fairview, Wheeler, and 65th Street loop together on the North Oakland–South Berkeley border. This home sits among some of the area’s most cherished early-20th-century homes: classic California bungalows, Colonial Revivals, and lovingly kept Craftsmans. With no through-traffic, the streets stay calm and neighborly.
Step outside and the East Bay is at your door. Start the morning at Nomad Café, pick up a pie from Nick’s Pizza, and do the weekly shop at Berkeley Bowl. Telegraph Avenue is just blocks away, Ashby BART is a half-mile stroll, and Rockridge’s shops and restaurants are about two miles off.
