About This Home
Own part of Berkeley history: The Keeler House, a 1895 masterwork of wood & glass by Bernard Maybeck.

Interiors showcase handcrafted authenticity w/ orig oak floors, pitched ceilings w/ exposed CA Redwood beams, & nearly floor-to-ceiling windows framing serene nature views. Gothic doorway & brick fireplace details, recessed lighting & rich woodwork express Arts and Crafts style throughout. Upper loft offers space for study or meditation retreat & even a guest bed, while the kitchen & dining area include gas range, dishwasher & pantry storage. Outdoor living spaces offer private patio & Juliet balcony capturing Bay views. Golden Gate view can also be glimpsed from living room & private balcony.
