About This Home

As of August 2021

This sweet 1930's Berkeley Storybook Chateau sits on a part of Cragmont Avenue’s tree-lined street known as "Storybook row." The house is positioned just off the street with a giant Cedar framing the high peaked roof, fronted by a pear tree. Enter from the driveway through a brick courtyard, past the lush Japanese Maple into the living room. Another entrance from the courtyard leads into the rear bedroom. The L-shaped, living, dining, kitchen, office, bathroom, and bedroom is mostly even with the street. Upstairs there are front and rear bedrooms, with a closet-lined hall and bathroom between. The floors are Oak and numerous built in shelves and nooks add to the charm. French doors from the rear bedroom open onto a tile deck with views of the Bay to the West and hills to the East. The indoor - outdoor flow brings a sense of nature and community. Close to Tilden and a stone's throw from Solano Ave. amenities.
