Property Description

Some homes simply provide a place to live. Others create a feeling the moment you walk through the door. This exceptional A-frame is one of those rare homes. Blending timeless architecture with beautifully curated updates, it offers warm, light-filled interiors, soaring ceilings, and inviting gathering spaces designed for both everyday living and unforgettable entertaining. Beyond its beautiful living areas, the home offers remarkable flexibility with a finished bonus attic that is ideal as a potential 4th bedroom, media room, creative studio, playroom, or additional workspace, as well as a detached office perfect for today's work-from-home lifestyle, a private gym, or an inspiring artist's retreat. Step outside and discover a backyard that feels like your own private sanctuary, complete with a spacious deck, pergola, mature landscaping, and multiple outdoor spaces designed for relaxing, entertaining, and creating lasting memories. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years, this home reflects decades of pride of ownership, with meaningful updates that preserve its character while embracing modern comfort. Even more remarkable, this home has had only two owners since it was built in 1903?a rare testament to how deeply cherished this property has been for more than a century. Whether you're hosting friends beneath the pergola, working from the detached office, or enjoying quiet evenings beneath the dramatic rooflines that define this iconic A-frame, every space has been thoughtfully designed to inspire connection, creativity, and comfort .Homes that offer this level of architectural distinction, versatility, rich history, and indoor-outdoor living rarely come to market. This is more than a home: it's a legacy property that captures the timeless charm of Berkeley while offering the space, flexibility, and lifestyle today's buyers have been searching for. Home Energy Score of 2.
