About This Home

As of August 2026

Late Victorian Cottage with Craftsman Influences (est 1905): Located in one of East Bay’s most beloved neighborhoods, this welcoming cottage pairs historic architectural romance with timeless details. Its picture-perfect shingled facade and steep gables instantly set an enchanting tone, welcoming you into warm living spaces rich in character. Step onto the inviting front porch and into the foyer with a charming built-in bench and divided light French doors. To the right is the formal dining room and a comfortable living room with a classic central fireplace that anchors the room in cozy elegance. Just beyond, the light-filled kitchen pairs modern culinary functionality with period charm, a chef's stove and ample cabinetry designed for effortless meal prep. A powder room and laundry hook-ups are conveniently located off of the kitchen. Upstairs, two quiet rooms provide a peaceful retreat with a classic hall-bathroom with clawfoot tub. Stepping outside, the grounds reveal a private backyard oasis—complete with a hot tub for evening soakings under the stars and redwood tree; a vibrant space for gardening enthusiasts, and ideal settings for al fresco dining. A detached bonus structure offers endless possibilities as a private work-from-home office, art studio, workshop, or future ADU project. Just minutes from the iconic Berkeley Bowl, the Gourmet Ghetto, the historic Elmwood District, and College Avenue’s vibrant cafes and boutiques, UC Berkeley, and Ashby BART only blocks away for an effortless SF Bay commute.
