About this home
Situated in Berkeley's beloved Westbrae neighborhood, this Mediterranean-style home offers a rare blend of character, privacy, and modern comfort. Tucked quietly behind lush gardens, it's just moments from neighborhood cafés, parks, and transit.
Set back from the street and enveloped in mature trees, sculptural succulents, and layered greenery, the home unfolds as a private retreat. Fully fenced grounds wrap the front, side, and rear yards, creating a sense of calm seclusion rarely found in such a central location, while a one-car driveway provides convenient off-street parking.
Inside, natural light filters through arched openings and expansive windows, highlighting the home's split-level layout. Recent updates, including a whole-house electrical upgrade, heat pump mini-split heating and cooling units, and freshly painted interiors, bring modern comfort and peace of mind. The upper level features two light-filled bedrooms, an updated bathroom, and an adjoining sunroom that provides a cozy reading retreat. The lower level offers a third bedroom, full bath, flexible family room, generous storage, and a convenient laundry area with a vanity and sink.
The living room is rich in architectural character, featuring dramatic arched ceilings, a handsome fireplace, and a graceful arched picture window that frames the surrounding greenery. A formal dining room anchors the main level, while curated lighting lends a clean, contemporary feel throughout. The beautifully updated kitchen features quartz countertops, painted wood cabinetry, and stainless-steel Miele appliances, with a charming corner breakfast nook for casual dining.
The outdoor spaces are equally inviting. A detached studio office provides exceptional flexibility, ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. The backyard is designed for both entertaining and relaxation, complete with a flagstone patio, built-in seating, and a spa-like soaking hot tub. The side patio creates a natural extension of the home's living space, while mature maple and magnolia trees, along with fruit-bearing plum and orange trees, create a beautiful garden setting with seasonal fruit to enjoy.
All of this in one of Berkeley’s most cherished neighborhoods, just moments from the best of Westbrae living. Enjoy exceptional walkability to neighborhood favorites including Monterey Market, ACME Bread, and local cafés, along with easy access to 4th Street shopping and Solano Avenue dining. Nearby Cedar Rose Park, the Ohlone Greenway, and surrounding open spaces offer endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, while North Berkeley BART and multiple transit options provide a seamless commute to San Francisco and beyond....
