Berkeley Architectural Rarity

By

SOLD
It is an architectural rarity in Berkeley to see such a well-preserved and tastefully updated half-timbered and high-peaked Colonial Revival property. This one built in 1911 by the carpenter Arne Lundgren. Berkeley’s Architectural Heritage Association (BAHA) even produced a little write up on this one.

At some unknown point in its history, it was converted to a triplex, and in 2004, a fourth unit was created in a newly enlarged basement area.

But the real feature of this property is the upstairs "owner's" unit. This comprises approximately 1,248 sq feet of light-filled living space, 2+Br/2Ba, gleaming hardwood floors, spacious rooms, and entirely new electrical/plumbing/heating systems starting from 2000. The master bedroom is behind the east facing, hill-view balcony and features a walk-in dressing room with its own washer and dryer! The master bath has a sumptuous 2person glass block shower stall. The kitchen, dining and living areas blend together under a dramatic open-beam cathedral ceiling. A 3rd bedroom or family room opens from here, as does a north and west facing deck with a gas line for endless bbq-ing. Need more storage? No problem here: there is a large stand up attic accessed from a pull-down stair, plus a ground level storage room for your bicycles.
