About This Home

As of May 2025

One of Berkeley’s oldest homes, this soulful bungalow at 2818 9th Street has been lovingly relocated to a nearly 7,000 sq ft lot just steps from the Berkeley Bowl. With one bedroom up, one down, and charm at every turn, it’s the kind of home that invites creativity the moment you walk in. Beyond the main house lies a second building with a spare bedroom—ideal for guests, a studio, or work-from-home life. Keep walking and you’ll find the crown jewel: a huge artist studio with tall ceilings, skylights, water, electricity, and walls of windows that open to the garden. Outside, vegetable beds, patios, and a large parking area offer both inspiration and practicality. This isn’t a cookie-cutter home—it’s full of soul, light, and that hard-to-find Berkeley magic. If you’ve been dreaming of a home that feeds your creative spirit and supports a true Berkeley lifestyle, this is it.
