Tucked away on a quiet street in the center of Berkeley, you’ll find this special home: An Original Craftsman Bungalow.
Loaded with charm – in the “original” sense of the word, this Craftsman bungalow has the original details that made it a “Craftsman” – all fully in tact. The front porch with its elephantine columns, the leaded glass windows, the built-in cabinets, the tiled fireplace, the hexagon tiled bath, the period light fixtures.
Beyond the nitty gritty, there’s just a warm feeling in every room of the house that makes it seem bigger in spirit than many houses greater in size. There’s two good-sized bedrooms. An original kitchen with Wedgwood stove opens onto a dining room/office – perfect for dinners or “mom’s office.”
And then there’s the garden. Another room in its own right. Just right for al fresco dining or contemplating. And off the garden, a detached garage is waiting for an artistic touch to turn it into a separate studio.
Yes, in this era of pergo, granite and redo’s, there’s still something to be said for an original.
For, they just don’t make them like they used to.
SPECIAL DETAILS:
• Original details all intact: leaded glass windows, built-ins, light fixtures
• Two bedrooms plus dining area/office
• Period kitchen with Wedgwood stove
• Just a few blocks to BART and Berkeley Bowl
