About This Home

As of January 2026

Amazing Craftsman fixer in one of Berkeley’s best-loved neighborhoods. Originally a 4-bedroom 2-bath property with a marvelous attic loft, the current owner’s preliminary reorganization offers a promising canvas for a new owner to realize its full potential. The property sits on an expansive garden lot and offers breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay from a private rear deck. There is a carport in the rear yard (which borders Spring Lane). This A+ location provides easy access to CAL, the Cheeseboard, Chez Panisse, the Thursday farmer’s market, Peets, the Berkeley Rose Garden, historic Cordonices Park, and Downtown BART, AC transit buses, and SF express buses, making daily errands and commutes effortless.
