Property Description

A Perfectionist's Restoration! Thoughtfully restored Mediterranean bungalow, circa 1940, beautifully blends timeless Berkeley character with meticulous modern craftsmanship. Nearly every surface and system has been thoughtfully renewed, creating a home that offers enduring beauty, exceptional quality, and lasting peace of mind. Extra tall ceilings create an airy sense of volume rarely found in homes of this era, while original glass doorknobs with skeleton keys and beautifully restored brass hardware preserve the home's authentic character. Completely remodeled to the studs, the eat-in kitchen pairs quartz countertops, sophisticated cabinetry, premium appliances, and floating shelves with cherished original details, including a charming corner hutch, second hutch with glass-front built-ins, and a custom redwood spice rack repurposed from the original ironing board cupboard. The stylish bathroom has likewise been rebuilt from the studs, while the inviting living room centers around a charming corner fireplace with a handcrafted mantel fashioned from reclaimed 100-year-old barn wood. Beyond its beautiful finishes, the home has been comprehensively upgraded with a complete seismic retrofit, partial copper plumbing, grounded electrical outlets with grounding rod, dual-pane windows, high-performance R-39 insulation in walls to the exterior, a high-efficiency dual wall furnace, a newer water heater, and a brand-new roof. The attached garage with interior access offers flexible bonus space for a home office, studio, or workshop, while the expansive, private backyard is framed by mature trees and offers endless possibilities for entertaining, gardening, or play. Ideally located in Berkeley's sought-after Oceanview neighborhood, just moments from the vibrant cafés, acclaimed restaurants, artisan shops, wineries, breweries, and live music of 4th Street, this is a rare offering where historic charm, thoughtful design, and exceptional craftsmanship come together in perfect harmony. Home Energy Score of 9.
