About this House

Welcome home to this charming Craftsman cottage at the border of Berkeley and Albany. Come on in through the front gate to a garden bursting with blooms, songbirds, and the occasional butterfly. Step up the stairs to the private front porch perfect for whiling away an afternoon watching the world go by. Inside this 1912 home, you'll find vintage charm balanced with modern conveniences. Hardwood and cork flooring along with tall ceilings and period architectural accents, large windows welcoming natural light, and a beautiful 1930s Wedgewood stove add to the home's charm. New quartz countertops, breakfast bar, and backsplash, ample cabinet space, updated lighting and a newer furnace and water heater, combine to make it easy to come home. This home has two bedrooms with ample closet space, a full bath, and a small home office ideal for remote work or crafts. In the secluded park-like backyard, the fruit trees, planter boxes, and a large open area offer plenty of places to relax and play. The basement houses the convenient washer and dryer, along with extra storage. All this close to Whole Foods, REI, North Berkeley BART, the thriving restaurant scene of Gilman Avenue, commute corridors, and more. Come on by, and come home to Berkeley!

    "I grew up on Oakvale Ave & Domingo, and even as a kid I felt that Claremont was the best neighborhood ever: so many families, with genuine community spirit, and all kinds of beautiful, secret places to explore (safely). Now that I’ve lived in Palo Alto, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Manhattan—and raising my own three children in Brooklyn—it’s clear to me that this neighborhood is a uniquely special, sometimes magical, place to grow up. I wish I could move it to Brooklyn!"

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
