Historic Northbrae Craftsman Bungalow

In Berkeley, nothing says elegance like a well-preserved 1920’s Craftsman Bungalow with its original features. This charming home has been in the same family for 50 years. The stately pillars and the formal entry way sets the tone for the entire house. The carefully preserved woodwork and built-ins are magnificent and the large, multi-paned windows throughout the house are beautiful. The public spaces are generously proportioned with tall ceilings and a tray ceiling in the living room. The living room and dining room are majestic—with their carefully preserved wainscotting, built-ins, inlaid hardwood floors and period lighting fixtures. 

Two of the three bedrooms are spacious and bright. There are lots of closets in the house with additional storage in the basement and garage. The bathroom and kitchen were updated a while back, but the Wedgwood stove remains. There are two bonus rooms at the back of the house overlooking the deck and garden areas. The laundry room is conveniently located next to the kitchen. 

There is also a downstairs studio apartment completed with permits in 2003. It has a full kitchen, including washer and dryer. It has its own private entrance, overlooks the front yard and has separate meters. 

You could not ask for a better location in North Berkeley.  Shopping and dining on Hopkins, Solano and North Berkeley are nearby.  Public transportation and bike lanes are also close.
