About this House

Built in 1916 and thoughtfully updated, this light-filled Craftsman is set against sweeping views of the Golden Gate and the San Francisco skyline. Just a few steps up, you enter a warm interior rich with gum wood, leaded stained glass, and beautifully preserved details. The formal dining room opens to a view deck—an ideal indoor-outdoor flow. In the kitchen, a charming eat-in corner offers a cozy spot for morning coffee. On the main level, a bedroom and full bath provide flexibility with minimal steps—well-suited for guests or those looking to downsize. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms are bright and airy, with expansive views and abundant natural light. A second full bathroom completes this space. Downstairs, a generous bonus space creates options for a studio, gym, or home office. And don't miss the super cool crafts room! The gardens are a true highlight—mature landscaping with beautiful trees and seasonal plantings, thoughtfully designed for both dining and lounging. The house is all-electric and has a Tesla solar roof, Tesla Powerwall, a heat pump system, and other eco-friendly upgrades. The detached garage offers tons of potential (an ADU, perhaps?). Located in North Berkeley, with convenient access to both Solano Avenue and the shops and restaurants of North Berkeley.

    "It's a very safe neighborhood. Cragmont park and remillard park are great for kids. It's beautiful and hilly so you need to be fit to get around. "

    "Easy, I drive to West Berkeley and it’s typically about 12 minutes to get to work. Driving in the Berkeley hills always calls for caution as there are people and children out on the streets where there aren’t always proper sidewalks. "

    "All the wildlife are present - squirrels, cats, deer, turkey to make your dog want to run and chase them away. Rare sightings of coyote in the neighborhood and mid night sounds of wild cats hunting."

    "Hills, architecture, parks every where, great city views on walks, a sense of community (which can make people too wary), greenery, lots of dog walking at any hour, nature is so close which is fantastic for bird watching (Cal Falcons, Commodores, etc), deer frolicking all the time, turkey can be seen on their strolls, every house a drive way but most are too small for cars to fit.

    "Haven't lived in this neighborhood in years, but often go back for friends and family and am always pleased to visit the area. It's green; the architecture is varied by virtue of the topography; stunning views of the City abound and are perfectly centered as this neighborhood is almost due east of the Golden Gate Bridge, which also plays a big role in the neighborhood's wonderful microclimate."
