Spanish Colonial Revival home on one of Central Berkeley's most charming residential streets. Built with the craftsmanship of its era, the home retains its original character throughout — stucco exterior with terracotta barrel-tile roof accents, arched entry with spiral columns, and decorative diamond accents on the facade. Inside, the entry foyer is flanked by two arched doorways with rich original wood trim, leading into a spacious living room and formal dining room. Inlaid hardwood floors with a Greek key border run throughout the main level. The living room features a large picture window overlooking the tree-lined street, a fireplace with tile surround, and original built-in cabinetry. The dining room opens through French doors to a spacious sitting area with multiple arched windows, making it well-suited for everyday living and entertaining alike. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all well-proportioned and filled with natural light. The lower level adds meaningful flexibility. A bedroom, a large rumpus room, and a storage room offer plenty of space to work with — whether that's a home office, gym, playroom, or guest suite. It's a blank slate that's ready for the next owner to make their own! With close proximity to UC Berkeley, Telegraph Avenue, and University Ave, the location puts restaurants, cafes, shops, and BART within easy reach.
