About This Home

As of October 2021

2924 Harper Street is one of those lovely, well-built Craftsman homes that lend Berkeley so much charm—complete with a huge backyard. An unusually large 1920’s-era Bungalow, 2924 Harper Street was completely remodeled in 2011. The transformation created a highly functional home with a minimalist feel, maximizing space and natural light, while adhering to the architectural detail of the epoch. Located in an exceedingly friendly neighborhood—with its own mailing list, 2924 Harper Street is conveniently located, with easy access to area freeways, Ashby Bart, and moments from AC Transit bus lines.
