Description

One of Berkeley's most historically significant brown shingle homes, the Gifford McGrew House was "designed by Bernard Maybeck, executed by Charles Keeler, with advice from McGrew's friend Joseph Worcester"according to architectural historian Leslie Freudenheim. An ideal residence for anyone with an appreciation of the Craftsman movement, the home's exquisitely maintained, period correct details are sure to delight. Updated in an aesthetically choice, precise and lovely manner, this 4+bedroom home has an amazing primary bedroom suite with views, large lovely bedrooms, and a wonderful main level. The outdoor lawns are wonderful and the whole home is super convenient to everything the Elmwood has to offer. Just a marvelous property!

    "Lots of students in the area because of the proximity to UC Berkeley. Its also a very political area, marches and cops and helicopters are not uncommon in response to the political climate. "

    "I lived in this neighborhood for 3 years. Since it's just south of the UC Berkeley campus, there is a lot of foot traffic and noise when school is in session. Mostly students live in this neighborhood but there are a ton of homeless people lying on the sidewalks and they can get pretty aggressive. Plenty of cheap restaurants catering to students as well."

    "Berkeley has high property taxes with the outcome of good public services and excellent schools. This part of south Berkeley is bicycle friendly with great grocery stores (perhaps the best options in the State!) plus neighbors who walk and know each other. A very enjoyable & diverse neighborhood."

    "A perfect 10-15 minute walk to the Cal Campus or the upscale, but delicious Elmwood area. Animal friendly neighborhood, with a fairly strong neighborhood association. The Julia Morgan Theater and Benvenue Public Library as well as excellent schools are just some of the treasures of this area."
