Beauty, History, Drama

Some of Berkeley’s first homes were the lovely Victorians in West Berkeley in an area later developed into industrial neighborhoods. This 1896 Victorian has spanned the centuries with a particular flair. Enter through the traditional front porch and prepare to be surprised. Architect Douglas Burnham’s design opened the walls and ceilings of the formerly small spaces revealing the dramatic original redwood structure. Preserving the stunning high Victorian windows and trim in the front of the house, the remarkable design brought the exterior views, light and outdoor spaces into immediate visual and physical proximity.  

This is an open design with beautifully compartmentalized areas. The living room has built-in bookcases, recessed tv screen and a picture window view of the front porch and swing. The dining area features a built-in bench, custom designed ceramic pendant lights and steel dining table that conveys. Anchored with a large wooden island/breakfast bar, discreetly hiding the low refrigerator and freezer drawers the kitchen has a sleek, contemporary, and spacious cooking and “hanging” area. Through fully contracting accordion glass doors, the kitchen opens directly onto the rear deck perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The deck leads easily to the spacious landscaped back garden. Fully private on all sides, the patio, irrigated gardens and grassy area invite lounging, gardening and play.

Three bedrooms include a primary with cutting edge ensuite designer bathroom, and spacious walkthrough closet. The main bathroom maintains the vintage clawfoot tub, hexagonal tile and a charming, oversized farm sink. Two more bedrooms complete this one-level living space. For added excitement climb the steep stairs into the secret loft with reading nooks and private meditation spots under more skylight spaces.

The lower area includes a large laundry room with tons of shelf storage area. Additionally, there’s a workspace with built-in desks, a chalkboard wall and interior access to the small garage and more storage!

Within a stone’s throw of the popular 4th Street shops and restaurants and boasting easy freeway and transportation access the mixed industrial/commercial and residential area has much to offer.

For those who want something truly special. Here it is.
