About This Home

As of February 2024

If you’re strolling North Berkeley this weekend be sure to stop by 955 Mendocino! This 4+ bedroom French-Craftsman home epitomizes style, elegance, and comfort. Every inch exudes sophistication, with period details including a Maybeck-style fireplace, built-ins, and original hardwood floors. The modernized touches are equally impressive – the new kitchen opens to a living area with French doors leading to the patio. One bedroom and a full bath with artisan tile and clawfoot tub is recently renovated and well appointed. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer tranquility and comfort. The primary suite includes a half bath and walk-in closet. The magical sunroom with exposed beams and Murphy bed adds versatility as an entertaining space or guest room. Architectural features, including a Mansard roof and a “cafe balcony,” enhance the charm. The wraparound yard boasts a driveway, patio, lawn, and fruit trees. A detached studio with French doors provides an ideal work-from-home office. Foundation improvements and seismic retrofitting ensure stability, while energy-efficient upgrades include solar panels, new windows throughout (40+!), car charger, tankless water heater, and more! Just two blocks from Solano Ave and a short stroll to the Gourmet Ghetto. Don’t miss it!
