Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1938, the home has undergone significant renovations likely within the 5-15 year range. The interior features updated hardwood flooring, modern lighting, and a move-in ready kitchen and bathrooms. Systems appear functional with a finished lower level and a well-maintained expansive deck, fitting the criteria for a well-maintained, updated older home.
The property features breathtaking, sweeping views of San Francisco and the Bay, visible from the main living areas, the kitchen, and the expansive outdoor deck.
Despite its petite footprint, the home offers a highly functional layout with a finished lower level that includes a home office, a second full bathroom, and a flexible bonus nook.
This 1938 storybook-style home is nestled behind private terraced gardens, offering a serene retreat feel while remaining conveniently close to North Berkeley’s amenities and UC Berkeley.
At just 896 square feet with only one formal bedroom, the home’s small scale may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more traditional family-sized accommodations.
The home is situated below street level with terraced gardens and a detached garage at the street, which implies significant stairs for access, potentially posing a challenge for those with mobility concerns.
Tucked behind terraced gardens and set just below the street, this storybook home offers a sense of privacy from the moment you arrive. Open the front door and your eyes are naturally drawn through French doors to sweeping views of San Francisco and the sparkling bay. Though petite in size, the home lives with warmth and intention. The living room feels open and inviting with a vaulted ceiling, cozy fireplace, and easy connection to the outdoors and a dining nook. Step onto the spacious deck, an ideal place for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or simply watching the fog roll across the bay. The kitchen offers plenty of countertop space, storage, and a gorgeous view while you do your dishes. The main level is rounded out by a comfortable bedroom and full bath, while downstairs offers flexibility for the way you live now: finished space for a home office, a second full bathroom, laundry, and a bonus nook ready to become whatever you need it to be. This level also offers access to the backyard garden where you’ll find fruit trees, a patio and a peaceful space to place your hammock. Extra storage is found in the detached garage at the street level. Just a quick trip down the hill to North Berkeley’s restaurants and shops and the UC Berkeley campus, 734 Keeler Avenue is the Berkeley Hills retreat you’ve been dreaming of! HER score 4.
