Description

Built in 1929 by local noted architect Joseph M. Walker, this beautiful four-bedroom, two-bathroom storybook Tudor residence is filled with character and light. His work is often characterized as "Storybook" or "Hobbit-esque," reflecting a whimsical, fairy-tale design popular in that era. The home sits on a level lot, with just a few steps to enter, offering a wonderful blend of classic architecture and everyday ease. Inside, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, original parquet floors and floor-to-ceiling...Built in 1929 by local noted architect Joseph M. Walker, this beautiful four-bedroom, two-bathroom storybook Tudor residence is filled with character and light. His work is often characterized as "Storybook" or "Hobbit-esque," reflecting a whimsical, fairy-tale design popular in that era. The home sits on a level lot, with just a few steps to enter, offering a wonderful blend of classic architecture and everyday ease. Inside, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, original parquet floors and floor-to-ceiling windows create a dramatic atmosphere. The formal dining room features classic built-ins and original leaded glass and opens to a spacious family room. From there, step through the French doors to the backyard, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen is well-appointed with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, generous workspace, and overlooks the greenery outside. A bedroom and full bathroom on this level provide excellent convenience for guests or flexible living, along with a versatile study that can serve as an additional bedroom. Additional highlights include a cozy home office nook off the kitchen and a separate, practical laundry room. Upstairs, the primary suite offers gorgeous Golden Gate views and bonus space with charming built-ins—perfect for an office, nursery, or sitting area. A second spacious bedroom provides comfort and flexibility. A second tastefully remodeled bathroom completes this level. The grounds are truly exceptional. Designed by Goodman Landscaping, the beautifully manicured yard, centered around a fountain, feels a bit like being in England and has hosted countless garden parties and offers space for relaxing, entertaining, and play. A spacious garage with interior access, a charming potting shed - as well as tons of storage throughout the house, add convenience to the charm. Energy Score is 1. Ideally located just a 4-minute drive to Peet’s Coffee on Solano Ave (per Google) and a quick connection to North Berkeley’s shops, restaurants, and amenities along Spruce Street—with bus access nearby—this home offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility.
