Expressive Design, Enchanting Garden & Rare Detached Bonus Structure


🏡 Classic Craftsman with Artistic Twist

Set in one of Berkeley’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this enchanting 2-bedroom, 1-bath Craftsman bungalow blends classic charm with an inspired, artistic twist, extra space, and many surprises. Whimsical and welcoming, the front yard landscaping creates a very special curb appeal. The reimagined interior showcases a warm, open floor plan anchored by an exposed brick fireplace and chimney, while a sculptural manzanita wood branch serves as an imaginative and lovely architectural support—equal parts function and art.

🌿 Indoor-Outdoor Living

California indoor-outdoor living is maximized, as the light-filled living spaces flow to a sun-kissed deck and beautifully landscaped backyard garden with a lush lawn, flowers and trees. The ideal set-up for parties, playtime and puttering.

✨ Detached Bonus Structure + Laundry

And… highlighting a large, and super cool, luminous detached bonus structure* - the owner has used it as an office/studio space. It’s large and lovely and offers the ultimate work-from-home setup, creative retreat, flexible entertaining space, or potential for other uses… oh, and there’s also a separate laundry room in back.

📍 Location

All of this is just moments from beloved neighborhood shops, dining, parks and transit—urban convenience meets residential serenity. A truly special Berkeley home for those who appreciate character, creativity, and location.
