About This Home

As of September 2025

Tucked into Berkeley’s peaceful hills, this 1923 Craftsman feels like an English countryside cottage. Surrounded by lush greenery and a towering redwood, this 3BD/2BA home offers easy main-level living with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, plus an airy kitchen that opens to the dining room and a sunlit redwood deck with built-in seating—ideal for gatherings or quiet mornings. Upstairs, the primary suite is framed by verdant outlooks. Warm oak and fir floors flow throughout, while the garage includes an EV charger. The landscaped garden brims with vegetable beds, perennials, and mature plantings, offering beauty and bounty at your doorstep. Just minutes to Tilden trails, top schools, UC Berkeley, and vibrant shops and dining, this rare retreat perfectly balances nature, comfort, and community.
