About This Home
As of May 2023Designed in 2018, the ‘French Provincal’ kitchen is the heart of this heavenly 3 bed, 2 bath home with attached studio apartment. 1514 Blake has all of the classic charm you might expect from a 1920s era home. For the 2018 kitchen remodel, the carpenters re-created the original window trim found throughout the house to bring the kitchen back in line with the style of the home. The chef’s kitchen was designed for professional cooking classes of up to 8 guests, and to increase natural light and the connection to the backyard. The efficient studio apartment with separate entrance and full eat-in kitchen offers privacy and is separately metered. Go out from either unit onto the wood deck to enjoy outdoor dining or connect with nature and spend time in the idyllic garden, tending to plants or simply resting in the shade of the apricot tree. Completing this enviable property is a detached garage at the end of a long driveway with ample tandem parking for 3 cars. 1 block to Homemade Cafe, a Berkeley mainstay since 1979. 1 block to the limited stop Transbay Express. 1 mile to North Berkeley BART.
