About This Home
As of June 2025Welcome to this elegant 1932 Mediterranean in North Berkeley, a stunning 3 bedroom, 2 bath residence filled with exquisite charm. Enter through a wrought-iron gate into lush gardens and a tranquil courtyard anchored by a fountain. Inside find the details you have come to expect in a Mediterranean home: arched doorways, hardwood floors and period details. A wide, sunlit hallway leads to a spacious living room with a fireplace and Bay views, and an elegant dining room surrounded by windows. The remodeled kitchen features a high-end Thermador stove and handcrafted Berkeley tile, and leads to a charming eat-in area with stained glass. On the main level, find a bedroom and a full bath, both updated to reflect the home’s original style. Upstairs, the primary bedroom opens to a private terrace with Golden Gate views-perfect for morning coffee or sunset watching. A second bedroom features a Juliette balcony, and an updated tiled bathroom serves the upper floor. Downstairs, enjoy a stylish family room with a fireplace, laundry room, and interior access to a two-car garage. Multiple outdoor spaces, from intimate courtyards to sunny terraces, invite indoor-outdoor living. Ideally located in the lower North Berkeley Hills, just minutes from shops, restaurants - and a bus at the corner.
