Property Description
Built in 1924 and lovingly cared for by one family for 7 decades, this traditional home sits on a sunny lot lined with birds of paradise, orchids, and fruit trees—including apricot, apple, and persimmon. A private entry opens to a warm living and dining area, accented by a paneled wall. The functional kitchen, ready for your creative updates, features large sliding doors that open to the expansive backyard, perfect for outdoor dining and gardening. A unique hallway with a clerestory window separates the public and private spaces, leading to two bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs, “Betsy's Room” offers a flexible bonus space with a half bath, closet, and direct yard access—an ideal office, guest room, or creative studio. A single-car garage and driveway provide convenient parking for two. Nestled on a quiet street of rolling hills, this home is a short 7-minute walk to North Berkeley BART, the shops and restaurants of North Shattuck, and the evolving University Avenue district anchored by Trader Joe's. One mile from Solano Avenue, you're perfectly positioned for neighborhood events like the annual Solano Stroll—park here and enjoy the walk! This well-loved home blends quiet living with vibrant urban access, offering a rare opportunity to create your Berkeley dream.
