Description
Set on a nearly level lot in the Berkeley Hills, this reworked Craftsman pairs the familiarity of an older home with the clarity and ease of a thoughtful contemporary renovation. Held by one family for more than 50 years, the house has been rebuilt from the foundation up while preserving the details that give it character. Original stained glass windows remain alongside new white oak floors, built-in entry benches and a gas fireplace framed by custom shelving. A small powder room brings in a more playful note with patterned wallpaper, while the main living spaces remain warm, simple and connected. At the center of the house, the kitchen takes a material-driven approach. Custom white oak cabinetry is paired with counter-to-ceiling tile, a burnished plaster range hood and understated stainless-steel appliances. A pantry, speed oven, beverage refrigerator and counter seating add function without overwhelming the space. One of the most successful details is an awning window behind the sink that opens directly to an exterior countertop bar. It creates an easy connection between the kitchen and deck, extending everyday life outdoors. Built-in seating overlooks a broad, level lawn bordered by privacy planting and a Japanese maple. A TV snug just off the kitchen offers a more casual counterpoint to the open living spaces, while a tucked-away office creates room to work without feeling disconnected from the house. Upstairs, the landing frames a glimpse of the Bay and incorporates a full laundry area. Two secondary bedrooms share a bath with a custom oak vanity and tub. The primary suite is more expansive, with dual closets, a vaulted sitting area and a bath finished with a custom oak double vanity and oversized shower with built-in bench. The renovation extends beyond the visible finishes, with a new foundation, 40-year-rated roof, Marvin windows, updated electrical and plumbing, and refreshed landscaping with new irrigation. A long garage accommodates parking along with bikes, storage, workshop space or a home gym, while additional attic and basement storage support the practical side of daily life. The result is a house that feels distinctly Berkeley: layered, relaxed and considered, with enough of its history left intact to keep it from feeling overly new.
