About This Home

As of June 2022

Set discreetly behind a white picket fence at the intersection of three of North Berkeley's favorite neighborhoods, this delightful 1921 English cottage has been in the same family since 1957. Now beautifully refreshed, it welcomes new owners through a gracious foyer flanked by generous living and dining rooms featuring wide windows and period built-ins. The artfully renovated kitchen opens to the rear patio and level, secluded back yard of this 6000+ square foot site, as does one of the three bedrooms. Enjoy the vintage charms and thoughtful updates of this special home and all the pleasures and conveniences of nearby Northbrae, Solano and Upper Shattuck Avenues.
