Description

850 Mendocino Avenue is a handsome example of the Prairie School of architecture, a Craftsman style noted for its solid construction, horizontality, craftsmanship, simplicity in the use of ornament, and wide overhanging eaves. Rows of divided-light windows provide a distinctive look to the outside and result in airy, light-filled rooms with framed views of the Bay and Golden Gate bridge. Designed with open and spacious large rooms, the original architectural details abound: tray ceilings, warm wood...850 Mendocino Avenue is a handsome example of the Prairie School of architecture, a Craftsman style noted for its solid construction, horizontality, craftsmanship, simplicity in the use of ornament, and wide overhanging eaves. Rows of divided-light windows provide a distinctive look to the outside and result in airy, light-filled rooms with framed views of the Bay and Golden Gate bridge. Designed with open and spacious large rooms, the original architectural details abound: tray ceilings, warm wood trim, built-ins, pocket doors, and vintage Craftsman light fixtures; arched details in the windows of the entry porch and front door are echoed in the fireplace mantel. A formal dining room has French doors leading to an ample deck that spans the width of the house and leads to the garden. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms are upstairs. The detached structure in back was used as an art studio and features high ceilings with a North-facing wall of glass, perfect to provide the best light for artistic endeavors. The location could not be more perfect: on a highly desirable street known for its gracious homes with Bay views and lack of traffic, with a lovely public pathway that provides easy access to the shops and restaurants of Solano Avenue, and all of North Berkeley.
