About This Home

As of May 2025

This is a home of character and charm. A big beautiful Berkeley brown shingle with a big beautiful back yard on lovely tree-lined Carleton Street with its handsome homes and friendly neighbors. A home that’s gorgeous but doesn’t gloat; that is genuine and refined. Full of sunlight, this is a house that is unspoiled — it still feels as it was meant to be in all its splendor. Gleaming golden matchstick hardwood floors. Coved ceilings with picture rail trim. Dining room with original window seat and built-in cabinet with nifty secret pass-through drawers to the walk-in pantry. Terrific kitchen with marble counters and delightful adjoining breakfast room. Fantastic family room leads to striking verdant outdoor spaces where the brown shingles mingle with flowers and trees. The 4 bedrooms and home office are upstairs, surrounded only by tree tops. Stylish updated bathrooms. Generous closets. Full basement provides more storage than you should ever need and plenty of space for your garden tools, your next craft project, and even a workshop. Outstanding location just 4 blocks to Willard Park, 7 blocks to the Berkeley Bowl, 3/4 of a mile to Elmwood’s great shops. Just under a mile to either Ashby or Downtown Berkeley BART. This is a forever home.
