About This Home

As of February 2025

Part of the Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood, 1727 Cedar is a craftsman's Craftsman. From the elephantine columns as you walk up the front porch to the large Bay window overlooking Edith Street. Inside Craftsman details abound with mullioined windows, original built-ins and hardwood floors throughout. Light streams in the large Bay windows of the living room, which opens to the large dining room with wainscoting and its own built-ins. The large "gathering" kitchen is a great place for friends and families of all definitions. Now artfully brought into the 2025 era with quartz countertops, new LG appliances, an island to gather round and eat in nook. French doors open the large TREX entertainment deck and a pocket garden. The light-filled Main bedroom looks out on the garden while the other two bedrooms overlook the greenery surrounding the home. For those wishing to be their own Craftsman, there's an extra large garage for workshop or office. All just a few blocks to Chez Panisse , BART and downtown Berkeley. The Berkeley universe at your feet.
