About this House

What's unique:Classic wedgewood stoveAttached one-car garageNew guttersSatin nickel hardwareGenerous fully fenced backyardInterior freshly painted
Talbot Avenue sits in Berkeley’s Westbrae neighborhood, where the streets are flat, the lots are deep, and neighbors still stop to talk on the sidewalk. For nearly ten years, this 1937 split-level has been home to the same family, a place where children took their first steps, friends gathered for dinner, and everyday routines became lasting memories. Set back behind a landscaped front garden, the home feels private and welcoming. Inside, original character is complemented by substantial improvements. Hardwood floors have been refinished, walls repaired and replastered, the interior freshly painted, and new light fixtures installed throughout. The eat-in kitchen pairs vintage charm with practical updates, including a classic Wedgewood stove, new quartz countertops, faucet, garbage disposal, satin nickel hardware, and engineered hardwood flooring. Cabinetry and shelving were reconfigured in 2021, and appliances include a Bosch dishwasher and updated refrigerator. A separate laundry room features new flooring over a rebuilt subfloor and an LG washer and dryer. The bathroom has been refreshed with a new vanity, faucet, mirror, lighting, and exhaust fan. Two bedrooms and an attached one-car garage complete the 851-square-foot main house. A detached office and studio at the rear of the property adds flexible usable space. Built out in 2021 with new windows, doors, and a skylight, it offers a dedicated setting for work, art, exercise, or retreat. Some of the home's most significant improvements are behind the walls. In 2026, the original knob-and-tube wiring was fully decommissioned and replaced. A new electric heat pump provides heating and air conditioning, while new attic insulation improves thermal performance. A new water heater was installed in 2023. Outside, the home has been freshly painted and fitted with new gutters. The generous, fully fenced backyard was regraded with new stonework, landscaping has been refreshed front and back, and fencing has been replaced along the rear and south property lines. The sellers have invested more than $130,000 in the property during their ownership, including approximately $90,000 in 2026. The result preserves the home's 1937 character while thoughtfully addressing its systems, surfaces, comfort, and efficiency. Home Energy Score of 8. BESO compliance pending.

    "What makes my neighborhood unique, being that I’m in Downtown Berkeley, is that I can walk to the post office, the library, many restaurants and other places like Ace Hardware and places I need to get errands done. So it is an all around is special neighborhood because I can literally walk to everything I need."

    "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 "
