Features
Tucked into a desirable corner lot, this enchanting home feels like it’s been gently woven into its surroundings. Lush, mature landscaping—thoughtfully curated over time—wraps the property in vibrant greenery, colorful blooms, and layered textures, creating a private, exotic setting that immediately stands apart. Upon arrival you are immediately struck by the exuberant, drought-tolerant, front yard. A welcoming front porch invites you to slow down and stay awhile—perfect for morning coffee, evening conversations, and connecting with the rhythm of the neighborhood. The home’s classic taupe exterior, accented with crisp black trim and a striking red front door with vertical frosted glass panels, offers timeless curb appeal with a distinctive edge. Inside, a gracious entry opens seamlessly to both the living and dining rooms, where hardwood floors and fresh white walls create a bright, airy feel throughout. In the living room, broad windows slide open to invite in fresh air and frame the surrounding greenery, while a brick fireplace anchors the space with warmth and character. The dining room continues the theme of light and connection, with expansive windows, wood floors and a unique statement light fixture - this will be the gathering area for countless gatherings. The home’s flow is natural and intuitive, making everyday living and entertaining effortless. A built-in desk with cabinetry is ideal for a stylish work-from-home setup. A vintage-inspired kitchen blends charm and functionality, featuring a classic white gas range, generous counter space, and abundant cabinetry. It opens into a cozy eat-in area with built-in shelving, a distinctive light fixture, and a window-side bench that draws in soft natural light—perfect for casual meals or a glass of wine with guests. Nestled on the left side of the home, two generous bedrooms bask in natural light. These rooms share a central bath adorned with a tub and charming vintage touches. Towards the rear of the home is the third bedroom - that offers a serene window view - and second bathroom. Do not miss the laundry room—very large for a home of this era.
The backyard is a secluded oasis. Created by notable landscape designer Vanessa Kuemmerle - this garden is inspirational. Gorgeous Balinese doors lead to a side path that evokes a lush nature walk. All around you, the garden feels alive in the calmest way. The back yard includes mature landscaping, a patio perfect for dining under the night stars, and two cozy spots for relaxing. Here, everything slows - no noise from the outside world follows you in. What else you will find here: magnolia tree, succulents, a mature avocado tree producing fruit, as well as blueberries, pomegranate, lemon, plum, and apple trees. A fun purple fountain, a large marble garden planter feature, whimsical garden accents, and a 200 gallon water catchment tank all should not be missed. For those who love to create, there's a spacious detached workshop / storage building, great for projects or hobbies, and an extra-large garage nearby. The yard is fully enclosed, offering an excellent environment for pets, play, and peace of mind. Ideally located in Emeryville but also quick access to Berkeley and Oakland, this home offers the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and urban accessibility. Enjoy close proximity to shops, restaurants, and cafés; neighborhood favorites include: Paradise Park Cafe, Prizefighter, James and The Giant Cupcake, Arizmendi, Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe, Los Moles and Townhouse. Berkeley Bowl West is the place for all your shopping needs! Bay Street and Emeryville Public Market is just a tad over a mile away. Convenient freeway access for seamless commuting throughout the Bay Area. A rare blend of character, comfort, and connection—this is a home that truly lives as beautifully as it looks.
