SELLER REPRESENTATION

7 Greenwood Common, Berkeley

This Mid-Century home was reimagined by William Wurster in 1957, absorbing the original 1922 Spanish Style home into his greater vision of a Modernist enclave in the Berkeley Hills that became Greenwood Common. Designated as a Berkeley Historic Landmark, the once small three-room structure has changed significantly over the years having been touched by three architects of note; The original Gregory guest house was remodeled by Rudolph Schindler for Sasha Kaun (1940s), then as the Wurster Residence it was remodeled by Architect William Wurster (1950s), then altered by Architect Henry Hill for Morley Baer (1953). The resulting modern design takes full advantage of Berkeley’s most stunning views with walls of glass and panoramic views from most rooms. Uninterrupted views include the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais, San Francisco, and the Bay Bridge.

2122 Sacramento St, Berkeley

Great opportunity to own a vacant multi-family property in the heart of Berkeley!  Built in 1902 as a single-family home, the house was lifted to create a second unit (with permits).  The deep lot and lush garden allow for good separation from a large cottage in back.  The top floor unit has classic period details and modern upgrades as well.  One bedroom and one bathroom on the main floor and another bed and bath in the bright converted attic.  Since there are two "living" rooms, one was used as a third bedroom.  A west-facing deck provides even more living area.  The ground-floor unit has two bedrooms, one bathroom and a deck of its own.  Shared laundry.  Tucked away at the back of the lot is a delightful fully-outfitted cottage with it's own back yard that has served many purposes over the years.  The possibilities are endless.  And the location can't be beat.   BART, Trader Joe's, UC Berkeley and downtown are just blocks away.   Although there are two off-street parking spaces, you may not need that car!

1529 Tyler St, Berkeley

You can't get closer to the University of California, Berkeley campus than South Berkeley, the neighborhood originally developed in the 1860s by the school’s predecessor, the College of California. The latter institution may be long gone, but the large, spacious, brown-shingled homes along Allston, Bancroft, Channing, and Dwight ways remain. Densely populated, the neighborhood contains some of the city’s oldest homes. South Berkeley is a mix of students, longtime residents, businesses, and homes. The major thoroughfares are Telegraph Avenue, Bancroft Way, and Alcatraz Avenue, where street vendors, bookstores, record shops, and inexpensive eateries cater to students. Nightlife is abundant, thanks to the proximity to campus, Zellerbach Hall, and Downtown Berkeley. Both the Ashby and Downtown Berkeley BART stations serve the neighborhood, as do a number of Alameda-Contra Costa Transit buses, making it a snap to get to downtown San Francisco, local airports, sports stadiums, and other locations in the Bay Area.

90 Poplar St, Berkeley

If walls could talk, this Storybook charmer would whisper, “As you wish.” As fans of The Princess Bride know when she says "As you wish," what she means is, "I love you." This is a house that serves its occupants up a heaping helping of true love. With a cobbled brick chimney, decorative timbering, and Juliet balcony, whimsy and magic bring the romance. Once inside, hand-hewn beams, random plank wood floors, dramatic archways, and original hammered light fixtures are gifts that keep on giving. The living room is a showstopper, with a wood cathedral ceiling, clinker brick fireplace, and large picture window. This room can cradle a crowd with charisma to boot. The dining room peers into the front courtyard and mysteriously feels candle-lit all day. The beautiful original tile bathrooms are additional treasures.

If Storybook homes have a chink in their armor, it is that rooms in this style of architecture can sometimes feel small and hobbit-like. Not here, where all the rooms are gracious. Beyond the spacious living room and formal dining room, the large kitchen extends graciously into the adjoining breakfast room. The bedrooms are also generously proportioned. And the lower level provides lots of space, carving out another bedroom, bath, living area, office nook, eating or game table area, and a second kitchen.

Looking to fetch just a bit more in the beautiful Berkeley Hills. As you wish… The gentle slope of the backyard is built for exploration and play and is superior to most lots in the hills. As an added bonus a peek-a-boo view of the bay is captured from the primary bedroom. Let this wonderful house, in its sylvan setting, be the place to stage your own happily ever after.
