Property Description
Discover timeless elegance in this Grand Craftsman home nestled in the desirable North Berkeley Hills, offering magnificent San Francisco Bay views. Built in 1925 by renowned builder Charles Clinton Gifford for his family, this century-old residence showcases exquisite architectural details throughout. Spanning 2,454 square feet, this meticulously maintained and recently renovated home features 5+ bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a main-level bedroom and bath, plus a bonus 234-square-foot California sleeping porch. Expansive windows fill spacious rooms with natural light, highlighting rich hardwood and redwood flooring. Elegant redwood paneling and built-ins in the living and dining rooms add warmth and charm. A brick fireplace anchors the living room, creating a cozy focal point for gatherings. The kitchen blends classic style with modern updates, featuring MSI quartz countertops and all new appliances. Upstairs, a side porch invites you to enjoy fresh air and Bay views. With ample parking, a detached garage, and a charming private backyard, this home sits just above Spruce Street, with easy access to transportation. Acquired from the Gifford family by the current owner in 1965, this is the first time this Berkeley historic home is offered for sale. Welcome Home!
