Out each window of this charming 1910 Craftsman you see green: the sprawling juniper out the front windows, ferns and purple flowers out the dining room, leafy trees from the back office. It feels calm, private, and quiet even though the amenities of Berkeley surround: get coffee and a pastry down the block at Nick’s, or try the Vault Cafe around the corner. Easy access to BART, the UC campus, Shattuck, College Ave., yet you are safe and nestled, perched above it all.

First impressions of this cozy home are high ceilings and gorgeous wood floors with inlaid detail. Abundant and large windows make the spaces feel light, bright, and contemporary. The kitchen is a dream combining vintage and modern: Italian Bertazzoni stove, Liebherr fridge, large island workspace, and a combination of original cabinets with new that all works. And then stairs down to bonus storage and the pretty back garden with stone pavers and a raised vegetable bed. It is breezy, cool, and peaceful—a lovely place to eat a meal or WFH.
