And yet... San Francisco and Bay views. A classic home filled with charm and character-but with a floor plan that feels remarkably modern. Beautiful indoor-outdoor flow.

Just one block above Solano Avenue, the Gillespie House was commissioned in 1916 and designed by John Hudson Thomas. It's a home that feels very much of its time-beautifully crafted, full of character, and thoughtfully designed. What makes the setting especially rare is the combination of walkability and views: one of the few streets in Berkeley where you can enjoy sweeping views while still being just a short stroll from the places that make daily life so convenient. JH Thomas was intentional about how the house sits on the lot, taking full advantage of its southwestern exposure. From different rooms and windows throughout the house, you get changing views that stretch from downtown Oakland to San Francisco and across to the North Bay. A proper foyer leads into an elegant living room and from there, multiple entries connect to a breakfast nook overlooking the Bay and an open, remodeled kitchen with beautiful Brazilian Santa Rita soapstone countertops, a 48 inch stove and plenty of storage. The dining room has all the presence of a proper formal room, with lovely built-ins and is both open to the kitchen and the courtyard too-a magical space that hints at France. Doors open, meals outside. The house transitions from entertaining to living as you enter the rear of the home t

Immaculate Walter Dixon "Modest Mansion". Renowned Bay Area architect Walter Dixon designed many storybook-style homes in 1928 as an hopeful optimistic counter to post-WW1 sentiment. He loved curves, natural light, breakfast nooks, french doors, stained glass and lush gardens. He worked with the famed architecture firm that designed the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. 1915 Thousand Oaks is one of his quintessential "modest mansons". Five large bedrooms plus an office and au-pair studio, and four and a half bathrooms comprise the sleeping quarters, replete with verdant views all around. A typically enormous living room with stained glass faces south to the tidy park across the street. A grand formal dining room with balcony faces the same way, and a newly remodeled kitchen and breakfast nook complete the picture. The gardens too, have been maintained in the Dixon style; lush, exotic and private, with various seating areas and a fountain. There is also a two-car garage and a top-floor game room. ALL-NEW ELECTRIC, whole-house copper plumbing, concrete-shingle roof, and engineer-approved foundation to boot! (See disclosures for permits, plans and reports.) This is location perfection, near coveted Solano Ave restaurants and shops, parks, and buslines. Sewer is complian

1994 Marin is a secret paradise. Tucked behind a lovely but unassuming gate, discover a private courtyard, with mature vines and hardscaped patio. The home, a classic Berkeley Traditional, is stately, welcoming you into an entryway bifurcated by a grand staircase leading up, and hallway pointing directly to the large deck and verdant yard. Hardwood floors throughout, find the living room to the right; the office to the left; a designer bathroom on this level, as well as a little, plum-colored nook under the stairs for coats and shoes. The dining room sits under a wall of windows, beside a brand new, open kitchen that enjoys full view of the backyard. And that backyard is really the piece-de-resistance; a huge deck directly off the eating area, with stairs down to another level of deck overlooking the expansive garden. Upstairs, find four bedrooms, each distinct in their style; a large, designer bathroom; and the primary room which enjoys a walk-in closet and gorgeous sunroom. The location of 1994 Marin is perfectly sited with prime access to North Berkeley, Thousand Oaks and Northbrae. | Home energy score of 5.
