About This Home

As of October 2019

When a home has become a member of the family you feel its connection to them. This is the experience of this special and exquisite home at 1209 Spruce. It begins with a magical pathway of gorgeous landscaping designed by Planet Horticulture, and the incredible craftsman details and built-in that have been beautifully maintained and restored and ends with sophisticated & thoughtful upgrades that make living in the home a true pleasure. The most exquisite of these upgrades is the incredible kitchen remodel that was finished in 2017. A light-filled room with custom cabinets, AGA and BOSCH appliances, and a gorgeous island that connects the whole room together which includes an informal living room and French doors that connect to the verdant garden with fruit trees and a lovely patio for entertaining. From this home, you will enjoy views of the Bay and San Francisco, and close proximity to fabulous neighborhood parks and quick access to all the Berkeley has to offer.
