Rare find: a Berkeley Brown Shingle with an energy score of 10 out of 10! This 4 bed, 2 1/2 bath home was rebuilt and expanded from the ground up.

This 4 bed, 2 1/2 bath home was rebuilt and expanded from the ground up. Salvaging just a few vintage sections of the original cottage, the 2006 construction project replaced electrical, plumbing, and heating systems (radiant), erected insulated walls, ceilings, and floors, and poured a new foundation. This created a truly unique design that prioritizes spacious common areas for entertaining and socializing, and private, separate bedrooms for rest and retreat – all the while fostering a sense of connection with the garden from every room. A high-ceilinged dining room and adjacent chef’s kitchen are optimally functional and beautiful. The large living room opens directly into garden and dining spaces of the oversized backyard. On opposite ends of the main level, are two bedrooms, each near a bathroom. Upstairs find a large bedroom and then a primary suite that take advantage of the tall roofline with airy, high-pitched ceilings and tall windows allowing abundant light to enter. In each, French doors let the outside in by opening wide to Juliet balconies painted in a vivid shade of “Bleu de France.” In an ideal location 1/2 block to North Berk BART, near Monterey Market, close to all the best urban amenities.
