About This Home

As of May 2025

Live steps from world class food and academia in this completely upgraded North Berkeley 3BD/2BA Craftsman main home (with owned solar) and a rare, full-service 2BD/1.5BA apartment (potential income?). From the shady porch, step inside the 2402 SQFT home’s gracious foyer, rich with pristine woodwork. Both the living and dining rooms boast mullioned windows, built-in bookshelves, gorgeous hardwood floors, and recessed ceilings. The adjoining kitchen blends into the home’s classic design with its custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry, and French doors onto a spacious deck where you can dine al fresco, enjoy morning coffee, and access the backyard. The first floor is complete with a full bath and a sunny bedroom, opening onto a deck. Up a half flight of stairs, find a bright bedroom with a beamed ceiling, shared full bath, and primary bedroom with its own expansive and private deck. On the lower level, the over-sized and sunny apartment features bonus spaces and its own patio. The garden provides raised beds, chicken coop, and space to unwind. Loads of storage await in the full basement (expansion potential?) and the long driveway provides ample off-street parking. Located blocks away from the Gourmet District, Cheese Board Collective, Chez Panisse, Live Oak Park, and UC Berkeley.
