About This Home

As of September 2024

Welcome to 2143 Ward St, one of six Victorian cottages built all in a row in the late 1800’s in the Stick-Eastlake style. This one retains many of its original features including soaring 11 ft ceilings, intricate cast door hinges, plaster ceiling medallions, stained glass windows, oak floors, and a claw foot tub. Adding to the charm are restored vintage chandeliers and a classic Wedgewood stove. Upgrades include a complete bathroom remodel, new copper supply piping, and the highest level drywall finish throughout. With an enormous 6,750 sf lot the possibilities for expansion are inspiring. Located on a minimally trafficked street just a few blocks from Berkeley Bowl East, Whole Foods, Sports Basement, Ashby BART, and downtown Berkeley. Don’t miss this chance to own one of the “painted ladies” of Berkeley.
