About this House

Built in 1910, this classic Craftsman bungalow is Berkeley through and through. The wide front porch made for lingering. The traditional foyer, the hardwood floors, rooms that connect the way rooms should. Natural light pours in. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, while the kitchen opens directly to the backyard—comfortable, functional, nothing forced, nothing overdone. The updates are the right ones — stone countertops, upgraded cabinetry, fresh paint inside and out, updated electrical, dual-pane windows and laundry inside. At the rear of the property, the former garage has been transformed into a finished space—an ideal retreat for working, creating, or simply finding a quiet moment. Two bedrooms, one beautiful bath, move-in ready. The landscaped grounds create a private oasis. Drought-tolerant plantings, including succulents and lavender, enhance both the front and rear gardens with beauty and ease of maintenance. The backyard patio is designed for gathering, offering ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxing with family and friends. California Street is one of those streets that makes you exhale — wide, tree-lined, genuinely neighborly. Just moments away, Ohlone Park offers five blocks of green space, including a dog park, community garden, sports courts, and the Ohlone Greenway. North Berkeley BART is just beyond. This is the heart of Berkeley, and it shows. UC Berkeley, the Cheeseboard, Chez Panisse, the farmers market, downtown theaters and restaurants, and the Berkeley Arts District are all within easy reach—walkable, bikeable, and drivable. With two BART stations nearby, the best of Berkeley is right outside your door. Rich in character, thoughtfully updated, and ideally located, this timeless Berkeley bungalow is ready for its next chapter. BESO Score = 4.

"This is a fairly quiet street, with some foot and car traffic since it connects to Sacramento Street and University Ave. But it's much more neighborhood-oriented than it seems, and close to daycare/dog park/cafe/bakery."

"I live almost on the corner of Bancroft and Roosevelt, and have lived in central Berkeley for two straight decades now. It's a great neighborhood - I see there's supposed to be a bit higher crime not far from here, but in all these years I've seen only one crime - a mugging wherein a Berkeley high graduate about 19 years old, tried to steal an earbud for a cell phone from a high school girl. He didn't get the earbud and the police caught him and a couple others with the minimum of fuss. That's it, although I've heard of a couple other small crimes more toward university. To live here is to feel very safe, and really be in walking distance to UC, and all kinds of shops, restaurants and so on. The little tot parks are real nice, especially the one on Roosevelt, and walking is very enjoyable due to all the lovely landscaping done in this area around private homes. Neighbors are great. I love living here except for having to get a parking permit - which is cheap and easy to do really."
