Property Description
Tucked away in the beautiful Berkeley Hills, this rarely available Storybook-style home offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, and stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Built in 1927 by Joseph M. Walker, it features a clinker brick chimney, dramatic wood-beamed ceilings, arched entryways, a grand fireplace, hardwood floors, and stained-glass windows—just a few of the many enchanting details. One of the home's most whimsical touches is the second bedroom, accessible through a traditional door—or a hidden passage in the closet. The exterior showcases original stone and brickwork, surrounded by lush landscaping with flowers, trees, and plants that enhance its storybook charm. Recent upgrades include a newer roof, exterior fire-hardening, some seismic retrofitting, and new copper plumbing. This well- maintained gem is move-in ready. Located close to Tilden park, Lake Anza, gourmet district, a golf course, numerous hiking trails, an easy walk to Cragmont Park, and central to the East Bay area, jump at this chance to be the owner of a Storybook home by a celebrated 20th century architect.
