Description

Exceptional Arts & Crafts work of art designed by Paul Needham in the First Bay Region architectural style, circa 1908. Beamed ceilings, board and batten ceiling and walls, a hand tooled copper fireplace, multi-light French doors, leaded windows, built-in cabinetry and benches, finely crafted woodwork and an intentional nod to asymmetry set this home apart. San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate bridge views provide a sense of connection to the larger region, while the expansive gardens ground the home...Exceptional Arts & Crafts work of art designed by Paul Needham in the First Bay Region architectural style, circa 1908. Beamed ceilings, board and batten ceiling and walls, a hand tooled copper fireplace, multi-light French doors, leaded windows, built-in cabinetry and benches, finely crafted woodwork and an intentional nod to asymmetry set this home apart. San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate bridge views provide a sense of connection to the larger region, while the expansive gardens ground the home in Berkeley’s natural beauty. Retaining its original character, the home has also been carefully brought into the 21st century with important structural upgrades including copper plumbing, 200 amp electrical and heating upgrades. Quality remodeling over the years including the kitchen and bathrooms, plus a lovely and spacious lower level for guests, home office or extended family. Close to the famed North Shattuck gourmet corridor, favorite parks, trails, downtown Berkeley and easy access to transportation options.
