About This Home
As of May 2021Sited on a beautifully landscaped and spacious lot, this 1898 “diamond in the rough” North Berkeley Queen Anne Victorian has been in the same family for over 60 years and is part of a rich architectural neighborhood heritage. As the sole survivor of an elegant 1880’s group of “View Homes” with a grand entrance and beautiful front porch, it is marked by fabulous light, spacious rooms, and a romantic turret that all create an ambiance of a bygone era. This original Victorian with high ceilings and over-sized windows has details that have been minimally altered over time and present a perfect opportunity for substantial restoration. Located centrally in the lower North Berkeley Hills on a quiet street close to the restaurants and shops of the Gourmet Ghetto, this property needs everything but has a fantastic location with the “Walker’s Paradise” Walk Score of 91.
