About This Home

As of March 2024

A refreshing relief to the soaring cost of turn-key homes. Here’s an opportunity to purchase within reach of your budget in a prime lower Berkeley Hills neighborhood and design your ideal floor plan and dream home. Old-world charm abounds in this stately, traditional 2-story home. Its tall ceilings, an array of wooden casement windows, pocket doors, and built-in cabinetry lend a sense of the thoughtful craftsmanship of its era. The farmhouse-style kitchen and rear side room offer transformation and expansion potential. All four bedrooms are on the second level, one so generously proportioned you’ll struggle to fill it. The bedrooms are all awash in light. Views of the San Francisco Bay are sensational. Upgrades over the past five years include a metal roof, solar panels, a seismic upgrade, and water heater. Situated on a large and sunny 6,400 square foot lot, this home has the potential for a glorious future. It is conveniently located in the North Berkeley Hills, close to the Berkeley Rose Garden, Codornices Park, and La Loma Park. Berkeley's Gourmet District, world-class dining, shopping, and the UC Campus are also within easy reach. Start planning your future in this delightful home.
