THE HOUSE
In North Berkeley, just minutes from Berkeley’s famed Gourmet Area, sits this incredible home, which was owned by an architect for almost 50 years.
The previous owners have elegantly and thoughtfully updated this brown shingled home through the years to capitalize on sightlines that signal to the outdoors and the views beyond the expansive grounds.
The commanding views from all the common rooms are breathtaking: Light pours in through the massive windows, framing the Bay and the Golden Gate, surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees. There is an extensive use of gleaming wood throughout — floors, doors, built-ins and finishes — giving this residence a wonderfully natural, almost Scandinavian feel (it’s no surprise — the owners were Swiss!).
Clever, convenient storage is found around every turn, including in the formal dining room, with its elegant built-ins. Pillars frame the spacious living room, anchored by a fireplace and huge view windows. Gorgeous wood pocket doors open to the massive sunroom, which is a particularly special space, with beautiful built-in storage and desks, as well as a tile floor. It’s a wonderful place in which to work from home, but the floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the magnificent views might be a bit of a distraction. This room opens directly onto a deck with access to the lovely, lush gardens.
The airy kitchen has a great Wolf range, tons of storage and European-style kitchen tiles. It’s adjacent to a well-appointed pantry and laundry room. The kitchen also opens beautifully to the dining room for easy entertaining. Also on this level are three bedrooms and a full bath, all with built-ins and unique details.
Upstairs, a loft-style space is a perfect sitting area or family room and was used as a fourth bedroom, with a full bath, a large closet and stunning views of the Bay.
Downstairs, the basement has been used for many years as a workshop. A detached two-car garage completes this home, which had structural upgrades, including extensive foundation work, in 1987 and 2009. It also boasts a metal roof and owned solar panels.
The adjacent vacant lot is owned by the same family and is also on the market, making this opportunity ideal for those seeking a spectacular single-family home in North Berkeley or those looking to build a family compound.
This property is just minutes from everything you want to do in Berkeley. the Rose Garden and the Gourmet Area just minute away.
THE LOT
This rare, gently sloped lot just waiting to host the perfect residence is mere minutes from Berkeley’s famed Gourmet Area, as well as all the shops, restaurants and amenities of North Berkeley.
It’s easy to imagine positioning your house to take in the commanding views of the bay and Golden Gate, surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees.
Access is easy through existing steps, and a functional two-car garage was built on the site in 2002.
The adjacent home at 2280 Eunice St. is also on the market, so this could also be an opportunity to build a wonderful family compound.
